Throughout the ages, from Sappho to Mary Wollstonecraft, extraordinary women have exposed other women to the world of letters and the freedom it brings. This unique cross-cultural account highlights the accomplishments of women writers and educated women, and provides beautiful reproductions of renowned artworks that illustrate their achievements and the worlds they inhabited, thereby also tracing the social functions of the portraits of reading women as well as the types of books they read. The book further explores the changing circumstances of women's access to literature and education throughout the centuries in different cultures and societies. Chronologically arranged, the volume opens in ancient times, exploring civilizations as diverse as Mesopotamia, Greece and China. It travels to the Middle Ages and Renaissance Europe, to modern England and America. Along the way readers are treated to profiles of Ban Zhao, Murasaki Shikibu, Christine de Pisan, Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, Phillis Wheatley and Harriet Beecher Stowe, among many others. Artworks featuring reading women range from Pompeii frescoes to important works by artists through the centuries, including Hans Holbein, Thomas Gainsborough, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, Gustav Klimt, Edvard Munch, Roy Lichtenstein, Balthus and Gerhard Richter. The result is a beautifully illustrated cultural history of women reading, as fascinating and inspiring as the accomplishments it honours.

In dit belangrijk werk gaf Virginia Woolf haar visie op vrouwen en fictie, of een antwoord op de vraag waarom er geen vrouwelijk equivalent van Shakespeare bestond: "Imagine that William Shakespeare had a sister, as wonderfully gifted as himself. But she was not sent to school... had no chance of learning grammar and logic... Before she was out of her teens she was to be betrothed... she cried out that marriage was hateful and was beaten by her father... She took the road to London... stood at the stage door; she wanted to act. Men laughed in her face... etc...". Toont de onrechtvaardigheid van het ontkennen van het recht van de vrouw op onderwijs.
