About the author
Diana Agabeg Apcar (1859–1937) was an Armenian writer who lived for many years in Japan and wrote fiction and essays in English. Public information about her life is limited, and no reliable record survives of her early years or education. The library currently holds only one of her works, Betrayed Armenia; judging from its title and the available description, her writing centered on the situation and fate of the Armenian people, marked by a strong sense of real-world concern and personal conviction. Writing in English for readers abroad, she told of the Armenian experience in a direct and restrained style. As an Armenian writer living far from home, she gave the international public of her time a distinct voice on the Armenian question and left later researchers a text worth consulting on the subject.
