Viva Vita!

Again and again over the past years I have come across amazing and yet little publized, in fact often sidelined, literature produced by women. I am currently reading “All Passion Spent” by Vita Sackville-West, a friend of Virginia Wolf.

Of course, that kind of writing is uncomfortable for many and rarely is kindly reviewed by literary juries...
