Three such women are not to found; I know not where I could find a fourth, except Mrs Lennox, who is superiour to them all.\u003c\/i\u003e --Samuel Johnson \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr. Johnson enjoyed the company of clever women. \u003ci\u003eDr. Johnson's Women\u003c\/i\u003e explores his relationship with six remarkable and successful female authors, all of whom he knew well: Elizabeth Carter, Hannah More, Charlotte Lennox, Hester Thrale, Fanny Burney and Elizabeth Montagu. It is also an account of the characters and achievements of these women. It is often assumed that women writers in the eighteenth century suffered the same restrictions and obstacles that confronted their Victorian successors. Norma Clarke shows that this was by no means the case. Highlighting the opportunities available to women with talent in the eighteenth century, \u003ci\u003eDr. Johnson's Women\u003c\/i\u003e makes clear just how impressive and varied their achievements were.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Norma Clarke, Norma Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1852852542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781852852542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.40w x 1.04d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2001 pg. 307","brand":"Norma Clarke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44074033938687,"sku":"9781852852542","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b72dad01-4403-42e7-b00a-46cf67390661.jpg?v=1685451383","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dr-johnsons-women-norma-clarke-9781852852542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
