Mothers of the Mind - The Remarkable Women Who Shaped Virginia Woolf, Agatha Christie and Sylvia Plath

Virginia Woolf, Agatha Christie, and Sylvia Plath are three of our most famous authors, for the first time this book tells the story of the remarkable mothers, who shaped them. Julia Stephen, Clara Miller, and Aurelia Plath were fascinating women in their own rights, and their relationships with their daughters were exceptional; they profoundly influenced the writers’ lives, literature, and attitude to feminism. Too often in the past Virginia, Agatha and Sylvia have been defined by their lovers – Mothers of the Mind redresses the balance by charting the complex, often contradictory, bond between mother and daughter. Drawing on previously unpublished sources from archives around the world and accounts from family and friends of the women this book offers a new perspective on these iconic authors.
