Rebecca More, also known as Rebecca Moore, was a significant figure in English literature, best known for her involvement with the early feminist movement and her association with several prominent writers of her time. Born in 1655, More was a poet, translator, and writer who defied the conventions of her era to make a name for herself in the literary world.

More's associations with other writers and intellectuals of her era were also significant. She was a close friend and correspondent of the poet and writer, Katherine Philips, and was also acquainted with other prominent writers, including John Evelyn and Samuel Pepys. These connections not only reflect More's position within the literary community of her time but also highlight her role as a networker and facilitator of literary exchange.

One of More's most notable contributions to literature was her translation of the works of François Rabelais, a French writer and philosopher. Her translation of Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel was published in 1664 and is still regarded as a significant work in the field of Rabelaisian scholarship. More's translation not only showcased her linguistic skills but also demonstrated her ability to interpret and convey complex ideas in a clear and engaging manner.
