  Wonder Of Women - Victorian...

  Let’s be clear. 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.  
   
  In 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. 
   
  But 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. 
   
  Dozens of authors appeared to fill the need.  Narratives had new ideas.  Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility. 
   
  The 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.

  The Odyssey is one of the two major ancient Greek epic poems (the other being the Iliad), attributed to the poet Homer. The poem is commonly dated to between 800 and 600 BC. The poem is, in part, a sequel to the Iliad, and concerns the events that befall the Greek hero Odysseus in his long journey back to his native land Ithaca after the fall of Troy.It takes Odysseus ten years to return to his native land of Ithaca after ten years of war; during his 20-year absence, his son Telemachus and his wife Penelope must deal with a group of unruly suitors who have moved into Odysseus' home to compete for Penelope's hand in marriage, since most have assumed that Odysseus has died.The poem is a fundamental text in the Western canon and continues to be read in both Homeric Greek and translations around the world.
