Regina's Maids of Honour - Celebrating Women Authors of the Victorian Era
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous gathering of influential women authors from the 19th century. Entitled "Regina's Maids of Honour" this engraving by Daniel Maclise showcases eight leading literary figures who made their mark in a male-dominated world. The image depicts a ladies' literary society, where these remarkable women writers came together to share ideas, inspire one another, and challenge societal norms. Among them are Laetitia Landon, Caroline Norton, Lady Blessington, Mary Russell Mitford, Mrs Hall, Lady Morgan, Miss Jane Porter - all renowned novelists and poets. However, it is Harriet Martineau who stands out as she diverges from the traditional feminine model with her groundbreaking work on political economy. Each woman depicted in this print has left an indelible mark on literature and paved the way for future generations of female writers. Their contributions ranged from famous sketches like Mitford's "Our Village" to Norton's powerful poetry that challenged gender inequality. Through this enchanting visual representation captured for The Graphic in June 1887, we glimpse into a world where talented women defied expectations and shattered glass ceilings through their words. This print serves as a testament to their legacy and reminds us of the power of female voices throughout history.
