Louisa Stuart Costello (1799 1870) was a poet and artist who
supported her family with her paintings. As well as writing a
number of historical novels, Costello researched and wrote the
biographies of many prominent women, using their letters and
diaries to tell their extraordinary stories. This third volume
chronicles the lives of twenty-one women including Elizabeth
Cromwell, wife of the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell. Featuring
letters between Elizabeth Cromwell and her husband, this biography
gives a personal dimension to one of the most volatile periods in
British history and covers the life of the Lady Protectress after
her husband's death. Also included is an account of playwright and
actress Susanna Centlivre who allegedly attended lectures at
Cambridge University dressed as a man, and wrote numerous
well-received comic plays. For more information on this author, see
