Caroline Maitland (1858–1920) was an English poet and writer. She worked under the name "Dollie Radford" after she married Ernest Radford.

Life

Maitland was born in London in 1858.[1] In 1880 she met her future husband in the British Museum Reading Room and they continued to meet at Karl Marx's house.[2] She married Ernest Radford in 1883, and wrote as Dollie Radford. They had three children, one being the doctor and writer Maitland Radford.[3] Her grandchildren include the town and park planner Ann MacEwen.[2]

Her friends included her sister in law Ada Wallas[4] and the socialist Eleanor Marx, whom she knew through a Shakespeare reading group attended by Karl Marx, and Amy Levy. Her papers are housed at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library at UCLA[5] and at the British Library.[6] Many of the British Library manuscripts have been digitized and can be viewed at Europeana.[7]

Her husband was a member of the Rhymers' Club, but Maitland could not join because of sexual discrimination.[8]
