Radclyffe Hall

    12 agosto 1880 – 7 ottobre 1943

    Radclyffe Hall ottenne riconoscimenti come poetessa e librettista, ma la sua principale eredità letteraria risiede nei suoi sette romanzi. La sua opera più celebrata approfondisce le vite delle donne 'mascoline' all'interno della società, affrontando accuse di oscenità e un divieto al momento della sua uscita. L'autrice ritrae abilmente l'utilizzo sociale e il successivo abbandono di queste donne, rendendo il suo lavoro un'esplorazione preveggente dei ruoli di genere e delle aspettative sociali.
