Hello and Welcome!
I am mysticgypsy, the author of Pointed Lace. In 1846 Emily Bronte and her sisters Charlotte and Anne published their first volume of poetry assuming male identities: Charlotte was Currer Bell and Anne was Acton Bell. I have been fascinated with the Brontes since studying them in depth in college, and that endeavor has drawn me toward the world of Women’s Literature, particularly that of the Victorian period. Besides the Brontes, another author whose writings I find intriguing is L.M.Montgomery, a Canadian author best known for the Anne of Green Gables series of novels.
This blog will serve as a forum for presenting my thoughts on the portrayal of women Literature, which will include exploring authors and characters, their various identities from witches to authoresses to Angels in the House and everything in between.

Hi Mandy!
Glad to have you drop by! I figured that my other blog has so many posts on women and literature that perhaps that topic deserves a blog of its own ;)
I look forward to the discussions too!
