Biography
Biography
Graham was born at Shaw, near Lockerbie, Dumfriesshire, in 1723. She lived in Dumfries and later Edinburgh, where she became a favoured member of Edinburgh society. Graham is remembered for her only surviving published poem, The Wayward Wife, which was once popular and was reprinted a number of times in anthologies. The poem is a warning to a son about the demerits of matrimony. She died in Edinburgh in April 1805, aged 82.
