Letters of Great Women by Lucinda Hawksley
Over 2,000 years of history seen through the eyes of 50 extraordinary women. Was Jane Austen a fan of her own work? What did Harriet Tubman want to tell Abraham Lincoln? And how did Greta Thunberg respond to her critics? This carefully curated selection of correspondence on politics, literature, art, entertainment, activism and science provides insight into the personal and professional lives of some of history's most influential names. Each entry includes images and transcripts of the letters themselves along with a biography by celebrated historian Lucinda Hawksley exploring the lives and writings of each woman. Letters of Great Women brings together 50 key female voices on the most significant moments in history, and the everyday joys, sorrows and struggles of women's lives.
Lucinda Hawksley is an author, art historian, public speaker and broadcaster. An authority on literature, art, social history and women's history, Lucinda has published over 20 books including Lizzie Siddal: The Tragedy of a Pre-Raphaelite Supermodel and March, Women, March.
