Author Information

Katie Baker was awarded a PhD in English Literature from the University of Chester in 2018. Her research focuses on female sexuality, domesticity and the 'businesswoman' in the work of nineteenth-century women writers. She has published on Elizabeth Gaskell and Margaret Oliphant and is currently an independent researcher. Naomi Walker is a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Chester and an Associate Lecturer at the Open University. Her PhD research was based on the two Shropshire feminist writers, Mary Webb (1881–1927) and Mary Cholmondeley (1859–1925), and she used GIS (Geographical Information Systems) software to plot their lives and works within the Shropshire area.
