This was a really fascinating mix of biography and literary criticism of a select group of women writers. I knew the names of all but only had real familiarity with Austen, but I’m definitely interested in learning more. The author does a great job at placing them in their times and how it could have affected their words. I tend to enjoy more speculative biography and so had fun most with the Julian of Norwich and Margery Kempe chapter (since there’s almost nothing known about them besides their written words).

Warned not to write - and certainly not to bite - these women put pen to paper anyway and wrote themselves into history. From the fourteenth century through to the present day, women who write have been understood as mad, undisciplined or dangerous. Female writers have always had to find ways to overcome or challenge these beliefs. Some were cautious and discreet, some didn't give a damn, but all lived complex, eventful and often controversial lives. Eve Bites Back places the female contemporaries of Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton centre stage in the history of literature in English, uncovering stories of dangerous liaisons and daring adventures. From Julian of Norwich, Margery Kempe, Aemilia Lanyer and Anne Bradstreet, to Aphra Behn, Mary Wortley Montagu, Jane Austen and Mary Elizabeth Braddon, these are the women who dared to write.
