Sarah Lee was an English writer and artist. She married the naturalist Thomas Edward Bowdich in 1813 and travelled extensively with him, including stints in Gabon and France. Widowed in 1824, and with three children to support, Lee pursued a career as an artist of natural history. In 1826, she married Robert Lee. While Sarah Lee wrote fiction and non-fiction for adults and children, her works of natural history were particularly well regarded.
