Una Lucy Silberrad

Who was Una Lucy Silberrad?

Una Lucy Silberrad, to use her own term, was a British authoress. Both her grave slab and her memorial brass in St.Mary's Burnham-on-Crouch, specifically use that term, thus avoiding both the gender-neutral term "writer", as well as the later 20th century tendency towards female 'authors'; all highly consistent with Una Silberrad's feminist views. She first lived at Buckhurst Hill, and then moved to Burnham on Crouch later in life. She was an elder sister of the chemist Oswald Silberrad, and some fragments of his scientific work appear in her fiction. She never married.
