This 1919 volume features essays on four women novelists:  Fanny Burney, Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, and George Eliot.  Johnson argues that women writers have contributed to literature qualities lacking in writing by men.  Chief among these qualities is a natural proclivity to domestic themes. He also finds the female sense of morality more highly developed than that of male writers, and women’s sense of humor to be more subtle.
