Mary MacCarthy (1882-1953) was an English writer, known for her involvement in the "Bloomsbury Group".
MacCarthy was the daughter of Francis Warre Warre-Cornish. Commonly called Molly, she married the literary critic Desmond MacCarthy in 1906. Though prevented by progressive hearing loss from full participation in group conversation, she was nevertheless active in the group, as demonstrated by her formation of the Memoir group and the Novel group, and by coining the term "Bloomsberries" to describe the members of the group.
Her sister Cecilia married William Wordsworth Fisher later Admiral.
