Dorothy Wordsworth was a poet born in Cumberland, England. Wordsworth studied at Hipperholme Boarding school and Miss Medlin’s school while growing up. She and her brother, poet William Wordsworth, were close, and enjoyed nature walks together later in their lives.

Wordsworth did not publish any of her work while she was alive; many of her journals and poems were published posthumously, as well as several short stories.
