HTML:<p><b>Two female writers and best friends bring to light the literary friendships of four iconic female authors.</b><br /> Male literary friendships are the stuff of legend; think Byron and Shelley, Fitzgerald and Hemingway. But the world's best-loved female authors are usually mythologized as solitary eccentrics or isolated geniuses. Coauthors and real-life friends Emily Midorikawa and Emma Claire Sweeney prove this wrong, thanks to their discovery of a wealth of surprising collaborations: the friendship between Jane Austen and one of the family servants, playwright Anne Sharp; the daring feminist author Mary Taylor, who shaped the work of Charlotte Brontë; the transatlantic friendship of the seemingly aloof George Eliot and Harriet Beecher Stowe; and Virginia Woolf and Katherine Mansfield, most often portrayed as bitter foes, but who, in fact, enjoyed a complex friendship fired by an underlying erotic charge.<br /> Through letters and diaries that have never been published before, <i>A Secret Sisterhood</i> resurrects these forgotten stories of female friendships. They were sometimes scandalous and volatile, sometimes supportive and inspiring, but always—until now—tantalizingly consigned to the shadows.<br /> <br /> <b>With a foreword by Margaret Atwood</b><br /> <br /> <b>"A thought-provoking meditation on literary friendship as well as engagingly intimate glimpses of four of the world's finest writers."—<i>San Francisco Chronicle</i><br /> "A medley of vivid narratives." —<i>The Atlantic</i><br /> "Midorikawa and Sweeney have committed an exceptional act of literary espionage. English literature owes them a great debt." —<i>Financial Times</i></b><br /> <br /> <b>"A vital and necessary contribution to women's history, literary history, and the literature of friendship."—Kate Bolick, author of <i>Spinster: Making a Life of One's Own</i></b><br /></p>.
