專家說明

Edith Martineau was one of the first female artists to be admitted to the Royal Academy Schools and as an Associate Member of the Royal Society of Painters in Watercolours. Her delicate handling and use of colour owes much to the Pre-Raphaelites, and she exhibited with many of their followers at the Dudley Gallery in the 1880s. Aurora Leigh is an epic novel in blank verse by Elizabeth Barrett Browning in which the heroine devotes herself to writing a great poem and breaking free from the expectations of women's roles.
