About this deal

Her experiences growing up at Rawdon College in Yorkshire, attending school in Edinburgh, and on walking holidays in Austria and Switzerland, would go on to form the framework for much of her adult fiction in the years to come.

As Kate Mosse paraphrases, ‘In it, she notes how her contribution was being curtailed to her own lived experience, whereas others were invited to speak, to talk, to lecture on anything.’I had an unexpected boost just before Christmas 2021, when my second cousin discovered a metal deed box in her attic. Inside were nearly 500 letters between Lily and her husband, Sam, written over the course of their long and happy marriage — they married in the chapel at Rawdon College on September 23, 1870, a few weeks before Lily's 21st birthday, and were together until Sam's death in August 1921.

Almost every question has come from a man.’ Matthew Perry's Friends co-star David Schwimmer looks somber out in New York after troubled actor's death at 54

Photograph: Tamika Moore/The Guardian Jada Pinkett Smith admits Will's Oscars slap was the moment she decided to stay with him... and reveals 'non-traditional' relationship is their way forward So, there’s the narrative of how women get not written into the history books. But there’s also the myth of ‘one extraordinary woman’ who was like no other woman. And I always give an example of that – the extraordinary Rosa Parks.’When you take mythological women away from statues, you’re pretty much left with Queen Victoria and Boudica. And it shouldn’t be… but the fuss when it’s suggested there might be a few more statues of women! It’s a very odd thing. When Caroline Criado-Perez suggested it would be good to have a woman on a banknote – and Jane Austen is hardly at the vanguard of the feminist revolution – she lived with death threats for several years. Rebekah Vardy shares first snap of her plastic air boot following 'horror accident'... after Coleen Rooney wore similar brace at Wagatha Christie trial So, for example, I began to wonder if the reason the Lake District became so important to Lily and her family (and my grandmother and father, then my family in turn) is because Lily first went there in 1901 after her youngest son, Leader, had died of haemophilia at the age of only 12. In Newlands Valley, there were no ghosts, no shadow of her lost boy. (Her son Reggie would die in his 20s.)
