Abstract

Blanche Edith Baughan was born in London in 1870. Her family background was one of tragedy and melodrama. Her grandfather had been a patient in Broadmoor, the asylum for the criminally insane, and her mother had attacked her father in a fit of homicidal mania. Baughan and her sisters looked after their mother until her death, and Baughan, in the manner of the time, felt that her family history made marriage on her part impossible.
