Career
Phillip Harwood was then a Unitarian minister in Bridport. Between 1864 and 1870 she wrote four sensational novels which were published without attribution. Between 1871 and 1883 she wrote a number of unfashionable blank verse dramas which were said to be readable.
Two were produced in Edinburgh and London but they were not favourably received.
Harwood lived with her father in London and then in Hastings. She died in Street Mary-in-the-Castle in 1888 in Hastings a year after her father.
