Lilian Wattnall Burwell Turner (21 August 1867 25 August 1956) was the daughter of commercial traveler Bennett George Burwell, and his wife, Sarah Jane Shaw. Her younger sister, Ethel Turner (born 1870), would also go on to become an author.
After her fathers death in 1871, her mother married factory manager Henry Turner, whose surname she and Ethel took as their own.
Henry turner died in 1878, and the family emigrated to Australia, where Lilian and Ethel Turner were educated at the Sydney Girls High School.
Here they ran their own magazines, The Iris and The Parthenon, in opposition to The Gazette, run by another noted Australian Childrens author, Louise Mack.
Editors of The oxford Companion to Australian Childrens Literature argue that Lilian does not write as consistently well as Ethel, although has some of the same irony, and she is more ambivalent in her acceptance of the social mores of her time(426). Lilian wrote for the teen market, beginning with Young Love (1902).
While earlier books like April Girls (1911) had female characters who merely giggle and throw tantrums, Turner looks at gender stereotyping in Peggy the Pilot and has Peggy imagines a world where women have the same freedom as men.
