Square Haunting: Five Writers in London Between the Wars by Francesca Wade
3.5
I enjoyed reading this and found it very informative, but it felt disjointed and didn’t have the big wow!!! factor of what these five women achieved in their own time against what was expected of them back then. Of the five I know some poetry of Hilda Doolittle (H.D) and works by Virginia Woolf. Dorothy L Sayers I’ve heard of (until I read this, I hadn’t realised she wrote more than crime fiction), and the last two were new to me – Jane Harrison (classicist) and Eileen Power (economic historian).
