The egotism that fuels the desire for greatness has been associated
exclusively with men, according to one feminist view; yet many
women cannot suppress the need to strive for greatness. In this
forceful and compelling book, Alison Booth traces through the
novels, essays, and other writings of George Eliot and Virginia
Woolf radically conflicting attitudes on the part of each toward
the possibility of feminine greatness. Examining the achievements
of Eliot and Woolf in their social contexts, she provides a
challenging model of feminist historical criticism.
