Georgiana Hill

Georgiana Hill (8 December 1858 – 29 March 1924), was a British social historian, journalist, and women's rights activist.

Early life Georgiana Hill was born on 8 December 1858, at 9 Mount View, Lambeth, London, the younger of two daughters of George Hill (1822–1897), a master printer, journalist, and newspaper publisher, and his wife, Emily, née Kitson (1815–1894). George Hill was the founder and editor of the local newspaper, the Westminster and Lambeth Gazette, and was a local political activist, including being the representative for Lambeth on the Metropolitan Board of Works.

Georgiana was a suffragist. the historian Joan Thirsk, in her introduction to Women in English Society, 1500–1800 (1985) discusses the social historian as having "extraordinary success as an author [that] started with her cookery books which sold cheaply ... and in very large numbers". In 2014 the historian Rachel Rich wrote the entry for Georgiana Hill (the cookery book writer) for inclusion in the Dictionary of National Biography.
