WOMEN AND LITERATURE.
“In one direction the success of women has been unqualified and meteoric—in literature and in literary criticism,” writes Darnq Rachel Crowdy in the "Evening News,” of London. "That very coivideraihle critic Rebecca West, and' .Virginia Woolf, Ro e Macaulay. and Stella Benson, though not post-war products, have achieved postwar, fame. As for the batch of young women writers, Daphne du Maurieir, Theodora Benson, Pamela Frankan, Eleanor Smith—well,* the young men
of-the Sam,., generation would do well ,to look to their laurels. These, women
have ea'ch added something to the literature of the day and that is not their only gift. They have shown themselves ns undaunted spirits, facing truth where truth, has to lie faced. These are the days of revelation and not of suggestion, and T for one believe that the world should he Letter for it.”
