Eve Bites Back
Warned not to write - and certainly not to bite - these women put pen to paper anyway and wrote themselves into history. Female writers have always had to find ways to overcome or challenge these beliefs.Some were cautious and discreet, some didn't give a damn, but all lived complex, eventful and often controversial lives. From the fourteenth century through to the present day, women who write have been understood as mad, undisciplined or dangerous.
From Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Aemilia Lanyer and Anne Bradstreet, to Aphra Behn, Mary Wortley Montagu, Jane Austen and Mary Elizabeth Braddon, these are the women who dared to write. Eve Bites Back places the female contemporaries of Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton centre stage in the history of literature in English, uncovering stories of dangerous liaisons and daring adventures.
