- Description
- Throughout their lives and afterlives, Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby have been figured as chaste romantic friends, prototypical lesbians, Bluestockings, Romantic domestic archetypes, and proleptically feminist modernists. This book demonstrates that this heterogeneous legacy discloses the queerness of their performatively instantiated identities.

- Description
- This book opens a window into the lives of British spinsters in the mid-seventeenth to mid-nineteenth centuries, assessing the opportunities open to them and the restrictions placed upon them within different social classes, occupations, and periods. Hill examines how often spinsters were able to earn enough money to live independently, She looks at the part single women played in religious organisations and the role of friendship and letter-writing in their daily lives. She describes the nature of close relationships between women, some lesbian but many others not. Exploring the spinsters' possibilities of escape from restrictive lives, particularly by emigration or crossdressing, she discusses how successful these were. She provides details about the degree of surveillance single women suffered from the authorities and how often they were seen as a threat to social order. Finally she addresses the question of whether all spinsters of this era were suffering victims or potential viragoes, or neither.

- Description
- This biography is to concentrate exclusively on Woolf's close and inspirational female friendships with the key women in her life. Curtis looks both at the effect of these relationships on her emotional life and the inspiration that each woman provided for the female protagonists in her fiction. The author begins by exposing the lesser-known details of Woolf's Victorian childhood, and continues with a study of the other unique women in Woolf's life: her sister Vanessa Bell: artist Dora Carrington: writer Katherine Mansfield: novelist Vita Sackville-West: and militant composer Ethel Smyth.
