She married Sir William Wilde on 12 November 1851, and they had three children. Lady Wilde, who was the niece of Charles Maturin, wrote for the Young Ireland movement of the 1840s, publishing poems in The Nation under the pseudonym of Speranza. Her works included pro-Irish independence and anti-British writing; she was sometimes known as "Speranza of the Nation". She was an early advocate of women's rights, and campaigned for better education for women.
