A Secret Sisterhood - Emily Midorikawa, Emma Claire Sweeney
Male literary friendships are the stuff of legend, but what about the friendships of women writers? They were sometimes scandalous and volatile, sometimes supportive and inspiring, but always--until now--tantalizingly consigned to the shadows. A Secret Sisterhood, drawing on letters and diaries, some never published before, brings to light a wealth of surprising female collaborations: the friendship between Jane Austen and one of the family servants, amateur playwright Anne Sharp, the daring feminist author Mary Taylor, who shaped the work of Charlotte Brontë, the transatlantic friendship of the seemingly aloof George Eliot and the ebullient Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield, most often portrayed as bitter foes, but who, in fact, enjoyed a complex friendship.
