Harriet Martineau (12 June 1802 - 27 June 1876) was a British social theorist and Whig writer, often cited as the first female sociologist. Martineau wrote many books and a multitude of essays from a sociological, holistic, religious, domestic, and perhaps most controversially, feminine perspective. She also translated various works by Auguste Comte, and she earned enough to support herself entirely by her writing, a rare feat for a woman in the Victorian era. The young Princess Victoria enjoyed reading Martineau's publications. She believed a thorough societal analysis was necessary to understand women's status under men. The novelist Margaret Oliphant said as a born lecturer and politician [Martineau] was less distinctively affected by her sex than perhaps any other, male or female, of her generation.
