The Dream Lover


“The finest female genius of any country or age: “
 Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“She beyond doubt or comparison the strongest woman and the most astonishingly gifted:”
Pianist and composer Franz Liszt

As a strong woman I would put her up there with Cleopatra and Queen Elizabeth I and certainly not just because she often dressed in men's clothes, smoked cigars, wrote best selling books and captivated and scandalized her times....
History teacher and blogger Troutbirder

  2. Hi TB, you have such a diverse interest in books. Don't remember much about EBB from my school days but think her father was ridiculously wealthy. Didn't she work against slavery and the labor laws of her time?
