May Kendall

May Kendall (1861–1943), born Emma Goldworth Kendall, was an English poet and novelist who wrote witty verse on science and modern life. Her books include That Very Mab (1885, with Andrew Lang) and Dreams to Sell (1887).

Her humorous poems on evolution, geology and the education of women made her popular in the 1880s. Two of them appear in Women Poets of the Victorian Era (1890).
