Title: only the title is interesting
Review: This could have been a very interesting book, since the topic of women outsiders is not much written about, and the author's selection of women is great. But she makes their very interesting lives seem dull. And some chapters are more about men around them. For example, the chapter on Ottoline Morrell begins with Bertrand Russel (they were lovers), and goes on for about 2 pages, before even mentioning Ottoline! The best chapter, and maybe the only one good in the whole book, is on Margaret Oliphant - it gives basic information about her so that the reader can get a sense of her life and of why she was so different from others. Maybe these chapters could pass as mediocre newspaper articles (since they were written for The Times Literary Supplement, London Review of Books and The New York Review of Books), and the idea itself is very good, but the book turned out to be a real disappointment. A shame for such a good topic!
