Product Description
Nineteenth century English literary society was so set against bringing women into its exclusive realm that the Bronte sisters felt they had to use male nom de plume's to attract a readership, and George Elliott remains known to posterity by her male pseudonym. Despite this inclement environment, there was a flowering of female authorship that has never been bettered, possibly never equalled. The Great Ladies of Literature examines the most striking examples of this extraordinary phenomenon.
