== Houlik mei Hardy ==
Emma Gifford met the writer Thomas Hardy in 1870 when he was working as an architect. Hardy had been commissioned to prepare a report on the condition of the parish church of St. Juliot, ûnder [[Boscastle]] yn [[Cornwall]]. Their courtship inspired Hardy's third novel, ''[[A Pair of Blue Eyes]]''. They didn't marry until four years later on 17 septimber 1874 yn St Peters Church, [[Paddington]], Londen. The Hardy's went on honeymoon to the Morton's Hotel, Queens Road, yn [[Brighton]] en farden dêrnei nei [[Dieppe]] en reizgen fierder mei de trein nei [[Rouen]] en [[Parys]].<ref>[http://neal.oxborrow.net/Thomas_Hardy/Emma_Gifford.htm Neal Oxborrow, sjoen 2013-06-25]</ref>
==Letter libben==
De Hardy's koene gjin bern krije, which may have affected their relationship. After twenty years of marriage, Thomas Hardy published the irreligious [[Jude the Obscure]]. Emma disapproved of Hardy's last novel because of the book's criticisms of religion and also because she worried that the reading public would believe the relationship between Jude and Sue paralleled her strained relationship with Hardy. Emma and Hardy spent more and more time apart and he began seeing other women. In 1899 Emma became a recluse and spent much of her time in attic rooms, which she asked Thomas hardy to build for her and she called ‘my sweet refuge and solace.’
== Frouljus emansipaasje ==
An active [[suffragette]] and supporter of [[women's suffrage]], in 1907 Emma Gifford joined [[George Bernard Shaw]] and his wife in a march in Londen.

At 8 in the morning of 27th November her maid found Emma 'moaning and terribly ill'. The maid summoned the cook, who attempted to carry her down the staircase but by the time Hardy had been called he found her unconscious and she died shortly afterwards. The doctor gave the cause of death as heart failure and impacted gallstones. She was buried three days later at the church of St Michaels, [[Stinsford]], Dorset.
