This is a new edition of David Painting's biography of Amy Dillwyn, first published in 1987. This is a very accessible biography of a remarkable woman, Amy Dillwyn (1845 - 1935); who was born into one of Swansea's most distinguished families, and became a leading industrialist and also novelist. Based largely on her diaries, it traces the life of a woman of exceptional spirit and personality who inherited her father's bankrupt business but learnt to make her way in a man's world.
Born into one of Swansea’s most distinguished families, Amy Dillwyn (1845–1935) was a Welsh novelist who tackled complex class issues in her works. Following the deaths of her brother in 1890 and her father in 1892, Dillwyn inherited her father’s bankrupt business and, employing an aggressive management style, restored it to prosperity. In this biography, based largely on Dillwyn’s diaries, David Painting sheds light on this extraordinary woman of exceptional spirit and personality, revealing her to be not just a pioneering female British industrialist and novelist but also an ardent proponent of social justice.
