Dowden was the daughter of the Irish literary scholar Edward Dowden. She used both her maiden name and her married name Hester Travers Smith. Her husband was a prominent Dublin physician. Dowden was closely linked to the Irish literary world through her father, knowing, among others W. B. Yeats and Bram Stoker. She was probably the model for the medium in Yeats's play, ''The Words upon the Window Pane''. Her daughter, the Abbey Theatre stage designer Dorothy Travers-Smith, married the playwright Lennox Robinson. Though she wrote only two books under her own name, her writings provided the basis for approximately twelve books published by other authors. Provided by Wikipedia
