Mary Eliza Haweis, née Joy (21 February 1848, London - 24 November 1898, Bath, Somerset), was an English author of books and essays, particularly for women, a scholar of Chaucer, illustrator and painter. She was the daughter of the painter Thomas Musgrave Joy, wife of the Rev. Hugh Reginald Haweis and mother of painter Stephen Haweis.
==Biography==
Aged 18, she exhibited a painting at the Royal Academy under her maiden name Miss M. E. Joy in 1866, the year her father died.〔 The following year, on 30 November 1867, she married Hugh Reginald Haweis. With his ''Pet; or, Pastimes and penalties'' (1874) she began illustrating her husband's books.
Combining a widespread interest in art, fashion, history, and literature, and to supplement the household income, she was soon writing herself. Usually giving her name as Mrs. H. R. Haweis, she first wrote ''Chaucer for Children'' (1877) which she also illustrated herself. Very preoccupied with style, several books on decoration, dress, and household matters followed. The first ''The Art of Beauty'' (1878) was based on and amplified articles she had written some years earlier for the "Saint Pauls Magazine". This was followed by ''The Art of Dress'' (1879), ''The Art of Decoration'' (1881), and ''The Art of Housekeeping'' (1889). From 1880 she wrote essays on artistic houses, first published in the magazine ''The Queen'', later collected in a book.
Together with her husband, Mary Haweis successfully campaigned to have museums opened on Sundays. Shortly before her death, she finished the novel ''A Flame of Fire'' (1897) which reflects her feminist views.
