What an amazing journey both these women were on and what an awesome piece of work this biographer did. This biography reads much like a novel, often leaving cliffhangers that made me want to keep going. The trials and tribulations and reality that these women endured, and oh so much more, it often lead me stricken, with emotions blurred into one another. This type of literature is very much outside my norm but I am better for reading it. Although these women were cast aside in their time, and for well over one hundred years (more in the case of Wollstonecraft), it is incredibly satisfying knowing their works are recognized, and studied today. I highly recommend it, I doubt you'll be disappointed.
