Sophia Elizabeth De Morgan (1809-1892) was the wife of the
mathematician and logician Augustus De Morgan and mother of
ceramicist William De Morgan. In Threescore Years and Ten,
completed in 1887, edited by her daughter Mary, and published in
1895, De Morgan recounts her formative early years and the
influence of her father, the social reformer William Frend. She
followed in his footsteps and fought for many causes, including
higher education for women and prison reform. She was also an early
animal rights activist and campaigned against vivisection.
Throughout her life, De Morgan encountered some of the leading
writers and thinkers of the time - she was introduced to William
Blake when she was a child and many years later found herself the
neighbour of Thomas Carlyle. De Morgan's reflections on her life
offer an insight into the intellectual world of a Victorian social
reformer.
