- Description
- From the beginning of their lives, the Olivier sisters stood out: surprisingly emancipated, strikingly beautiful, markedly determined, and alarmingly 'wild'. The sisters seemed always to be one step ahead of their time. Margery and Daphne studied at Cambridge when education was still thought by some to be damaging to ovaries. Noel became a doctor: Daphne a pioneering teacher: Margery's promising trajectory was shot down by mental illness: Brynhild, the great beauty of the four, excelled as a Bloomsbury hostess yet gave it up for love and a life of uncertainty.

- Description
- This publication paints a portrait of two late-nineteenth-century girlhoods of wealth and want, and their twentieth-century experiments in ethical living in a world torn apart by war, imperialism, and industrial capitalism. The author chronicles how each traveled the globe - Nellie Dowell (1876-1923) as a spinster proletarian laborer, Muriel Lester (1883-1968) as a well-heeled tourist and revered Christian peacemaker, anticolonial activist, and humanitarian.
