Male literary friendships are the stuff of legend, but
what about the friendships of women writers? 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.
They were sometimes scandalous and volatile, sometimes
supportive and inspiring, but always—until now—tantalizingly
consigned to the shadows.
Characters: 162. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Non-Fiction.
