Meet Elizabeth Gaskell

Elizabeth Gaskell (1810–1865) was an English novelist, biographer, and short story writer.

Loyalty and obedience to wisdom and justice are fine; but it is still finer to defy arbitrary power, unjustly and cruelly used – not on behalf of ourselves, but on behalf of others more helpless. - Elizabeth Gaskell, North and South
