Violet Florence Martin (11 June 1862 – 21 December 1915) was an Irish author who co-wrote a series of novels with cousin Edith Somerville under the pen name of Martín Ross in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Violet Martin and Edith Somerville were second cousins, and originally met on January 17, 1886 at Castletownshend, after which they became lifelong companions and literary partners.

“¿Cuando fue la última vez que tomaste una decisión capaz de cambiar toda tu vida para bien o para mal?”
Violet Florence Martin, El Mapa de la Autoestima

“En ocasiones, los padres compiten con sus hijos y los humillan por envidia y los humillan tanto que los anulan.
Martín Ross. El Mapa de la Autoestima.”
Violet Florence Martin, El Mapa de la Autoestima

“Mientras vas cambiando de edad, vas cambiando de posición en El Mapa de la Autoestima como el sol que se mueve en el cielo mientras avanza el día. La crisis viene cada vez que se pasa una década en la vida, porque las mismas hazañas que antes sostenían tu orgullo y tu prestigio ya no tienen el mismo poder.”
Violet Florence Martin, El Mapa de la Autoestima
