Radclyffe Hall

    12 augustus 1880 – 7 oktober 1943

    Radclyffe Hall verwierf erkenning als dichteres en tekstschrijfster, maar haar belangrijkste literaire nalatenschap ligt in haar zeven romans. Haar meest gevierde werk duikt in de levens van 'mannelijke' vrouwen binnen de maatschappij, geconfronteerd met beschuldigingen van obsceniteit en een verbod bij verschijning. De auteur portretteert vakkundig het maatschappelijk gebruik en de daaropvolgende afdanking van deze vrouwen, waardoor haar werk een vooruitziende verkenning wordt van genderrollen en maatschappelijke verwachtingen.
