L. T. Meade

**Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Smith** (Bandon, 1844ko ekainaren 5a – 1914ko urriaren 26a), **L. T. Meade** bezala ezagunagoa, irlandar idazlea izan zen, batez ere neska gazteei zuzendutako liburuak idatzi zituena.

## Bizitza 
R. T. Meaderen alaba, Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Bandonen jaio zen, Cork konderrian. Geroago Londresera joan zen bizitzera, eta han Alfred Toulmin Smithekin ezkondu zen 1879ko irailean.

17 urterekin hasi zen idazten eta guztira 280 liburu baino gehiago idatzi zituen bere bizitzan zehar. Batez ere gazteentzako liburuengatik egin zen ezaguna, eta horien artean ospetsuena *A World of Girls* izan zen, 1886an argitaratua. Hala ere, istorio sentimentalak, erlijio-liburuak, eleberri historikoak, abenturazko, amodiozko eta misteriozko eleberriak eta ipuinak ere idatzi zituen, batzuetan gizonezko egileekin elkarlanean. Horietako lehena Clifford Halifax doktorea izan zen, 1893an kolaboratu zuten lehen aldiz eta sei liburu idatzi zituen elkarrekin. Urtebete geroago Robert Eustacerekin elkartu zen, eta hamaika liburu idatzi zituen harekin. Bere azken egilekidea Robert Kennaway Douglas izan zen, Meaderen alabaren aitaginarreba, eta harekin liburu bat idatzi zuen 1897an.

1887an *Atalanta* neska eta emakumeentzako aldizkaria sortu zuen.

Meade feminista eta Pioneer Clubeko kidea zen. 1897an Emily Langton Massingberd Pioneer Clubeko sortzailea hil zenean, Meadek hari buruzko eleberria idatzi zuen, *The Cleverest Woman in England*, 1898an argitaratua.
