Grace Pettman Pout (1870-1952); also known as Spencer Deane; Helen Kent - https://womenincornwall.org/grace-pettman
“Initially writing under an assumed name was necessary, as her Plymouth Brethren family would not countenance a writing woman. Nevertheless, her literary output was always wholesome, dutiful, and religious, published by ‘Horner’s Penny Stories for the People’ and Nicholson’s. Later, she wrote in order to live and to support her sickly husband, and after his death, her daughter. She was paid poorly for her literary output though doggedly determined to make the best of it.”
