WOMEN AND LITERATURE
" In 0110 direction tho success of women lias been unqualified and meteoric—in literature and in literary criticism," writes Danio Rachel Crowdy in the Evening News of London.
" That, very considerable critic Rebecca West,, and Virginia Woolf, Rosa Macaulay and Stella Benson, though not post-war products, havo achieved post-war fame. -As for the batch of young women writers, Daphno du Maurior, Theodora Benson, Famela Frankau, Eleanor Smith—well, the young men of tho same generation would do well to look to their laurels. " These women have each added something to the literature of the day and that is not their only gift. They havo shown themselves as undaunted spiriis, facing truth where truth has to be faced. These are tho days of revelation and not of suggpslion and I for one belicvy* that tho world should bo better for it."
