  • Charlotte Forman (1715–1787) was a British journalist, translator, political essayist and activist. Between 1756 and 1780, she wrote political essays and news from abroad for many newspapers under various pseudonyms, most notably Probus (in The Gazetteer and the Public Ledger). Unknown in her lifetime, in more recent years Forman's career has garnered significance as she was one of the few women of the period who wrote essays on what were considered masculine subjects (politics and trade). Essays and writings which can be attributed to her have been described as erudite and moralising and, due to sexist attitudes towards women prevalent at the time, were considered to have been written by a man.

  • Charlotte Forman (1715-1787) est une journaliste, traductrice, essayiste politique et militante. Entre 1756 et 1780, elle a écrit des essais politiques et des nouvelles de l'étranger pour de nombreux journaux sous divers pseudonymes, notamment Probus (dans le Gazetteer et le Public Ledger). Inconnue de son vivant, la carrière de Forman a pris de l'importance ces dernières années car elle était l'une des rares femmes de l'époque à avoir écrit des essais sur des sujets considérés comme masculins (politique et commerce). Les essais et écrits qui peuvent lui être attribués ont été décrits comme érudits et moralisants et, en raison des attitudes sexistes à l'égard des femmes qui prévalaient à l'époque, ont été considérés comme ayant été écrits par un homme.
