Lucy C. Lloyd Book order

Lucy Catherine Lloyd was born in England in 1834 into a clerical family, her upbringing marked by liberal influences and a progressive education. The family's relocation to Durban, South Africa, in 1849 exposed her to colonial life and influenced her independent views. Rejecting her father's perceived hypocrisy and financial control, she asserted her independence, leading to her estrangement from the family home. Her personal life was shaped by a profound regret over a broken engagement, which she attributed to her own inexperience and theoretical convictions.
