Mary Chavelita Dunne Bright (14 December 1859 – 12 August 1945), better known by her pen name George Egerton (pronounced Edg'er-ton), was a writer of short stories, noted for her psychological probing, innovative narrative techniques, and outspokenness about women's need for freedom, including sexual freedom.
Egerton is widely considered to be one of the most important writers in the late nineteenth century New Woman movement, and a key exponent of early modernism in English-language literature.
Born in Melbourne, Australia, she spent her childhood in Ireland, where she settled for a time, and considered herself to be "intensely Irish".
