{"product_id":"9781328532381","title":"A Secret Sisterhood: The Literary Friendships of Jane Austen, Charlotte Bront�, George Eliot, and Virginia Woolf","description":"\u003cp\u003eMale 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. Through letters and diaries that have never been published before, \u003ci\u003eA Secret Sisterhood\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47025983389936,"sku":"9781328532381","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781328532381_p0.jpg?v=1763708087","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781328532381","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
