About the author
Joseph McCabe (1867–1955) was a prolific writer, intellectual, and a significant figure in the freethought movement. Born on November 12, 1867, in Macclesfield, Cheshire, England, McCabe initially pursued a religious path and became a Franciscan monk. However, his growing skepticism led to a break with the church, and he left the priesthood in 1896 to devote himself to education and writing. McCabe was an ardent advocate for rationalism, secularism, and the scientific method, vocally opposing superstition and dogmatic belief. He was proficient in several languages and used this skill to bring a wide range of European literature and thought to the English-speaking world. With a keen interest in history, he authored 'The Empresses of Rome' (1908), which is a detailed account of the powerful women who often played a critical role behind the scenes of Roman imperial power. Apart from this historical work, McCabe also left a rich legacy of books on religion, science, and philosophy, typified by a clear, accessible style aimed at educating the public. His legacy endures in the realms of critical thought and secular scholarship.
