Power was born in 1815 to Agnes and Colonel Robert Power. She is thought to have spent her childhood in Ireland, where her father managed the estates in
County Tyrone after he returned from a career in the
British army. She was a respectable, hardworking writer who was frequently poor. She is often forgotten despite her many contributions. However, her legacy remains within her many works, including her contributions to
The Keepsake, Book of Beauty and also to the
Illustrated London News and other periodicals. She is known for her memoir of her aunt
Lady Blessington, as well as her book
Arabian Days and Nights (1863), an account of a winter's residence in Egypt. Power died in July 1867 after a long illness. ==Works==
