Hello, and best wishes for International Women’s Day 2026. One of the things I particularly like to celebrate in my research and writing about women’s lives at the turn of the century is their network of friendships, and how opened doors to other connections and opportunities. This week features a brief introduction to Pernel Strachey (1876-1951) particularly in her connection to two women writers: Virginia Woolf and the aspiring novelist and biographer Elizabeth Jenkins. Read on to find about a literary podcast I took part in last week about another Newnhamite, Jane Harrison, and news of our next Twentieth-Century Book Club choice.
