Adelaide Anne Procter was a tireless philanthropist and poet in England in the Victorian era. Despite her short life, many of her poems began to be published in Charles Dickens' periodicals "Household Words" and "All the Year Round" beginning when she was just a teenager. She was a feminist and often worked on behalf of fallen women.
