Eleanor Scott (1893-1965) was born Helen Madeleine Leys. She initially became a teacher before turning to writing. War Among Ladies (1928) was the first novel she published under the pen name Eleanor Scott. She is best known today for her collection of weird short stories, Randalls Round, published in the British Library Tales of the Weird series in 2021.
""'War Among Ladies' is filled with twists and turns, ugly politics, scheming and so much drama. It is quite a page turner of a novel, written very well and with great sympathy for the central character of Miss Cullen."" --Bagful of Books
