Summary

All too often the talents of women have been scorned, mocked and laughed at.  In reality that was more usually by those who’s own talents were hardly fit to even grace their shadows.  
But society in general still connived and set women to one side in almost everything that men considered their rightful territory.  And literature was one such territory.  Remarkably resilient as well as talented these women strove to be published, to show themselves as equals.  The results more often than not proved that they were. 
Sadly, in the thirst for the new, the recent and the past fell from sight, relegated to dark corners and dusty shelves. 
 
 
But the printed word is rarely without someone, somewhere busying themselves through piles of papers and books rediscovering what a good story is, whatever its age. 
In this volume we offer up a small selection of talents from the literary landscape of Irish, Scottish and Welsh women authors whose time has now come again.
