520 |a The egotism that fuels the desire for greatness has been associated exclusively with men, according to one feminist view; yet many women cannot suppress the need to strive for greatness.

Examining the achievements of Eliot and Woolf in their social contexts, she provides a challenging model of feminist historical criticism.
