We are all equal under the law. However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003eIn the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status. Women were chattel and property. There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told. Many did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003eBut whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms. However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003eDozens of authors appeared to fill the need. Narratives had new ideas. Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003eThe women included here are talents that dazzle. Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top. Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e1 - Women of Wonder - The Weird Stories - Volume 2 - An Introduction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e2 - The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e3 - Transformation by Mary Shelley\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e4 - The Shadows on the Wall by Mary E Wilkins Freeman\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e5 - The Blue Room by Lettice Galbraith\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e6 - From the Dead by Edith Nesbit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e7 - The Death Mask by H D Everett writing as Theo Parker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e8 - The Last of Squire Ennismore by Charlotte Riddell\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e9 - Sylvia by Bessie Kyffin Taylor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e10 - Whittington's Cat by Lady Eleanor Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e11 - Young Magic by Helen Simpson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"“MsoNormal”\"\u003e12 - No 5 Branch Line.
