摘要

玛丽·海伦娜·福琼（约1833–1909）是澳大利亚犯罪小说的先驱作家。在婚姻和家庭生活仍然在很大程度上决定着女性生活的时候，《财富》在她的自传体新闻中坦率地承认自己是自筹资金的。她声称，当她想起自己“赚了买茶的每一分钱”时，她的茶味道更好了。这对一个维多利亚时代的女人来说是不寻常的。正如她的回忆录和新闻散文所证明的那样，《财富》绝非寻常。她的生活、她的写作、她的丈夫、儿子和情人的故事非同寻常，考虑到当时虚伪的道德，对《财富》来说可能是危险的。因此，由于充分意识到维多利亚社会为独立苍蝇建立的网络，《财富》以Waif Wander的笔名写道，这为她提供了庇护，并保护了她的收入。她的回忆录部分是虚构的，是维多利亚时代的一种常见类型，揭示了澳大利亚历史上一位非凡的女性和非凡的时代。

Mary Helena Fortune : an independent fly in the webs of Victorian society

Mary Helena Fortune (c. 1833–1909) was a pioneer Australian crime fiction writer. At a time when marriage and domesticity still largely defined women’s lives, in her autobiographical journalism Fortune freely admitted to being selffinancing. She claimed that her tea tasted better when she remembered that she has “earned every penny of the money that bought it.” It was unusual for a Victorian woman. And as her memoirs and journalistic prose testify, Fortune was anything but usual. The story of her life, her writing, her husbands, sons and lovers is extraordinary, and was potentially dangerous for Fortune, given the hypocritical morals of the time. Thus, being fully aware of the webs the Victorian society set for independent flies, Fortune wrote under a pseudonym of Waif Wander which sheltered her, and protected her income. Her memoirs, partly fictionalised, a common Victorian genre, reveal an extraordinary woman and extraordinary times in Australian history.
