A Secret Sisterhood , drawing on letters and diaries, some never published before, brings to light a wealth of surprising female collaborations: the friendship between Jane Austen and one of the family servants, amateur playwright Anne Sharp; the daring feminist author Mary Taylor, who shaped the work of Charlotte Bront ; the transatlantic friendship of the seemingly aloof George Eliot and the ebullient Harriet Beecher Stowe; and Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield, most often portrayed as bitter foes, but who, in fact, enjoyed a complex friendship. They were sometimes scandalous and volatile, sometimes supportive and inspiring, but always--until now--tantalizingly consigned to the shadows. About the Author: Writers and friends EMILY MIDORIKAWA and EMMA CLAIRE SWEENEY co-run the website somethingrhymed.com. Emma is author of the novel Owl Song at Dawn , Emily is a winner of the Lucy Cavendish Fiction Prize, and they both teach at New York University in London.
