- Description
- Born to politically radical parents, Blind had, by the time she was thirty, become a pioneering female aesthete in a mostly male community of writers, painters, and critics, including William Morris, Ford Madox Brown and William Michael Rossetti. By the 1880s she had become widely recognized for a body of writing that engaged issues such as the Woman Question and Darwin’s evolutionary theory. She emerged as a prominent voice and leader among New Woman writers at the end of the century.
