Carlile, Eliza Sharples (c. 1805—1861) The second (common-law) wife of Richard Carlile, Eliza Carlile was the first female freethought lecturer in England. When Charles Bradlaugh needed a place to stay, after being accused of atheism by his pastor, Eliza boarded him. She edited Isis, a London publication, in 1832. Carlile wrote The Glossary of the Bible, Chiefly Designed for Children (c. 1830). {BDF; EU, Joel H. Wiener; FUK; GS; VI}
