- Description
- Biography of the American pioneering stage and opera director Margaret Webster (1905-1972), whose career challenged not only stage tradition but also mainstream attitudes toward professional women.

- Description
- In this study Bolt sheds light on the differences in the area of race, class and internationalism, which flourished in an era of political reaction, economic insecurity, polarising nationalism and resurgent anti-feminism. The author reveals how the conflicts were seized upon and publicised by contemporaries, and how the activists themselves were forced to confront the increasingly complex tensions. in particular, the American and british women's movements grew further apart as British women became more conscious of American money, expectation of influence and opposition to the existence of Britain's empire.

- Description
- Resisting long-held interpretations that Colette and Virginia Woolf had little in common, Southworth shows here the links between the two famous writers, both real and imagined. Often cast in their diametrically opposed roles of elitist bluestocking and risqué music hall performer, critics have overlooked the many ways in which the lives and works of Woolf and Colette intersect. This study provides a broad-ranging introduction to the biographical, stylistic, and thematic ties that link the lives and works of Britain's and France's first ladies of letters of the early twentieth century. Situating the two writers within an international network of artists and literati, including Jacques-Émile Blanche, Radclyffe Hall and Una Troubridge, Winnie de Polignac, Gisèle Freund, Sylvia Beach and Adrienne Monnier, Vita Sackville-West and Violet Trefusis, this study complicates conceptions of the differences—national, sexual, cultural, and intellectual—which have kept these two women apart by placing these same differences at its center.

- Successful in her own time for adult novels and plays, Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849–1924) would be astounded to find out she is remembered for a handful of books for children, but most of all for the enormously popular The Secret Garden. This biography—with full cooperation of Burnett’s descendants and relatives—examines her life with a wealth of new material. Burnett’s life was full of those reversals of fortune that mark her work. Following modest beginnings in mid-Victorian Manchester, England she arrived in post–Civil War Tennessee at the age of fifteen with her widowed mother and four siblings. Burnett was a breadwinner for the family from the age of seventeen, eventually publishing a total of fifty-two books and writing and producing thirteen plays. She made and spent a fortune in her lifetime, was generous and profligate, yet anxious about money and obsessively hardworking. .Burnett’s personal life was as complex as her professional one. Her first marriage to a southern doctor disintegrated after her prolonged absences and rumors of her flirtations and a scandalous affair. Her subsequent marriage to an abusive English doctor also failed. A woman of contrasts and paradoxes, this British writer was equally at home in the United States, which honored her with a memorial in Central Park.
