Charlotte O'Conor Eccles (1863–1911) was an Irish writer, translator and journalist, who spent her working life in London.

[4] She commented in an article in the June 1893 number of Blackwood's Magazine on "the immense difficulty a woman finds in getting into an office in any recognised capacity".

[3] Her first novel, The Rejuvenation of Miss Semaphore (London: Jarrold & Sons, 1897), was published in 1897 under the male pseudonym Hal Godfrey: "This hilarious novel tells of a middle-aged woman who drinks too much of an elixir of youth, causing pandemonium in the... boarding-house where she lives with her sister.

[5] An obituary in The Times described Aliens of the West as "one of the best modern books of short stories on Ireland yet written".

[1] Eccles died in 1911 at her home in St John's Wood, London of cerebral thrombosis after a reported nervous breakdown.
