Sarah Doudney frequenta la Madame Dowell’s school, presso la città di Southsea. A quindici anni vede pubblicare la sua prima opera, The Lesson of the Water Mill su un giornale religioso anglicano denominato The Churchman’s Family Magazine. Doudney è cresciuta in una famiglia con una forte educazione religiosa e, che tra i propri membri, aveva uno zio pastore protestante noto per essere l'editore di The Gospel Magazine. Oltre a realizzare una cospicua produzione letteraria di romanzi e poesie, Doudney collabora su All the Year Round. Alla morte dei genitori, decide di trasferirsi a Oxford.[1]
