Mathew Prichard, the grandson of Agatha Christie, emphasizes the significance of understanding this aspect of her early life. Virginia Woolf, Agatha Christie, and Sylvia Plath are renowned authors, and this book delves into the story of the remarkable mothers who shaped them. Julia Stephen, Clara Miller, and Aurelia Plath were fascinating women in their own right, and their relationships with their daughters were exceptional. These mothers had a profound influence on the writers' lives, literature, and attitudes toward feminism. In the past, these authors have often been defined by their romantic relationships, but Mothers of the Mind aims to rectify this imbalance by presenting a comprehensive account of the complex and often contradictory bond between mother and daughter. The book draws upon previously unpublished sources from archives worldwide and includes accounts from family and friends of the women. By offering a fresh perspective on these iconic authors, Mothers of the Mind sheds light on their lives and contributions to literature in a new and insightful way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 730g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 242 x 166 x 32 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781803991894\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rachel Trethewey","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44570713653498,"sku":"9781803991894","price":17.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1694795121241_book.jpg?v=1694959085","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/mothers-of-the-mind-the-remarkable-women-who-shaped-virginia-woolf-agatha-christie-and-sylvia-plath-9781803991894","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
