Helen's comment about her opium addition is not surprising. What woman in that day, unmarried and not pleased with herself, would not self-medicate? Thanks.

Got to take agog with a grog in hand (tis St. Paddy's soon) at this talented woman at the Gutenberg Project, however, there was only one item; "Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland A.D. 1803 by Dorothy Wordsworth." I do wish Gutenberg Project would display the total number of pages for a work as this appears lengthy; albeit throughly enjoyable~!chiccorealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902834462795623856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-49448365144245047132012-03-15T09:22:43.157-04:002012-03-15T09:22:43.157-04:00You are an educator extraordinaire!

The frustration doesn't bear thinking about. But the women themselves were partly to blame. Mothers instilled servitude into their daughters (this is still true in other parts of the world.) I saw 'The Iron Lady' the other day. To get anywhere Maggie Thatcher had to be twice as tough and ruthless as any man! And when I told my mother she had become P.M. my mother's response was 'Oh dear! It doesn't seem right, does it!'Rinkly Rimeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07890344869337115307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-77501602375195853402012-03-14T16:09:04.427-04:002012-03-14T16:09:04.427-04:00i would have felt sooo sniffled

I love that poem you quoted. His sister was a woman before her time, apparently.<br />Coming from England before moving to Canada, I'd been to the Lake District several times and seen the old cottage he lived in there.

Wonder how female writers are handled today. I hope they're not simply either "feminist" studies and writers, but part and parcel of the actual course one's taking, alongside the appropriate male writers.Di Eats the Elephanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067737807348338927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-73311019764234627422012-03-14T15:08:21.501-04:002012-03-14T15:08:21.501-04:00I think in any walk of life there are women doing ...I think in any walk of life there are women doing the some things as men but with less attention bestowed upon them..the great thing about writing now is that you can choose a name..an identity..and no one would even know..(for a while at least) - maybe that has already happened too..JaeJae Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11509244123008832611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-23972599572136963522012-03-14T14:58:18.765-04:002012-03-14T14:58:18.765-04:00Thanks for your informative post Berownne - much l...Thanks for your informative post Berownne - much learned here (as usual).<br /><br />Anna :o]hyperCRYPTICalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967085628384237933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-50737110829686297612012-03-14T12:43:33.853-04:002012-03-14T12:43:33.853-04:00as always, learned something fascinating from your...as always, learned something fascinating from your post..
