Ethel Lilian Voynich (1864-1960) was the daughter of a prominent English scholar and mathematics professor George Boole. Having married V. M. Voynich, a Polish writer and revolutionary who had moved to England, Voynich got on Wednesday radicalized Russian and Polish emigration. In 1887-1889 she lived in Russia, from 1920 - in New York.

The best work of Voynich is the revolutionary novel "Ovod" (1897), which became one of the favorite books of young people in Russia.
