      A detailed analysis of a network of English women writers including Dorothy Richardson, HD, Djuna Barnes, Marianne Moore, & Mina Loy who were at the forefront of literary experimentation early in this century & whose lives were considered to be as avant-garde as their work. Providing a new & exciting look at Modernism, it reinstates these writers alongside such figures as James Joyce & Ezra Pound, showing that their work was as innovative & influential as that of their better-known male counterparts. It also demonstrates how these women looked to each other for support & inspiration in their writing as well as in their lives.
