William Richard Bradshaw (1851–1927) was an Irish-born American writer, editor, lecturer, and activist who contributed to the early landscape of science fiction and utopian literature. Born in Ireland, he later immigrated to the United States, where he pursued a multi-faceted career that spanned literary creation, editorial work, and public speaking.
Bradshaw is best remembered for his science fiction novel, The Goddess of Atvatabar, which stands as a notable early example of hollow earth fiction. Beyond his literary endeavors, Bradshaw was an active lecturer and a dedicated anti-vivisection activist, reflecting his engagement with the social and ethical questions of his era.
