British female writers

[Ya Sam]

By the way, there is a new novel by Byatt in the works. Below I've put the 
link to her recent public reading and interview in case you haven't come 
across it. In the first file Silverblatt reads out the range of topics to be 
covered in the forthcoming novel and, oh my, it is pretty impressive:

'England and Germany from 1895 to 1918, the front in World War I, socialism, 
fairy tales, ceramics, the city of London, South African goldmines, 
puppet-making, theosophy, German decadence, medical training for women, the 
Yellow Book, theatre, children in late Victorian Britain, the Victorian 
Albert Museum then known as the South Kensington Museum, suffragism, 
(something I couldn't make out), neo-paganism etc.'

There is defintiely something stirring in current literature.
