Not just Jane : rediscovering seven amazing women writers who transformed British literature

DeWees, Shelley2017
Books
A feminist history of literary Britain, this witty, fascinating nonfiction debut explores the extraordinary lives and work of seven long-forgotten authoresses, and asks: Why did their considerable fame and influence, and a vibrant culture of female creativity, fade away? And what are we missing because of it? Shelley DeWees weaves history, biography and critical analysis into a rip-roaring narrative of the nation's fabulous, yet mostly forgotten, female literary heritage.
