But the world's best-loved female authors are usually mythologized as solitary eccentrics or isolated geniuses. Coauthors and real-life friends Emily Midorikawa and Emma Claire Sweeney prove this wrong, thanks to their discovery of a wealth of surprising collaborations: the friendship between Jane Austen and one of the family servants, playwright Anne Sharp; the daring feminist author Mary Taylor, who shaped the work of Charlotte Bronté; the transatlantic friendship of the seemingly aloof George Eliot and Harriet Beecher Stowe; and Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield, most often portrayed as bitter foes, but who, in fact, enjoyed a complex friendship fired by an underlying erotic charge. Through letters and diaries that have never been published before, A Secret Sisterhood resurrects these forgotten stories of female friendships. They were sometimes scandalous and volatile, sometimes supportive and inspiring, but always -- until now -- tantalizingly consigned to the shadows"-- "A fascinating, inspirational look at the relationships between some of our best-loved female authors and their little-known literary collaborators and friends"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 820.99287 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 820.99287 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 820.99287 Mi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
