Description

The position of fiction in the careers of these women is complex. Fiction writing was widely recognized as a 'profession' open to women, supplying ready money for personal expenses and for the social cause. It also permitted access to a broad readership that could not be accessed through pamphlets or periodicals, and it allowed the potential for influential literary celebrity.
