Samuel Cron Cronwright ( Bedford District , Cape Province, 1863 – Rondebosch , 1936) was a South African public figure, farmer , lawyer, businessman, politician and a biographer of his first wife, Olive Schreiner , whose surname he adopted from their marriage in February 1894 until four years after her death in 1920, when he became known as Samuel Cron Cronwright-Schreiner. This was even more unusual at the time than it is today, but he did so at her request because he shared her beliefs about women's rights and women's liberation.
