Hannah More was a religious writer poet who was a friend of Johnson and Garrick and also a member of the Bluestocking group; a controversial figure, she acted as a conservative and Christian opponent against the proto-feminism of some of her contemporaries like Mary Wollstoncraft and Anna Laetitia Barbauld, instead thinking women were unfit to hold public office and vote.
