The Victorian Branch Society of Women Writers (VBSWW) was a groundbreaking organization that played a vital role in the development of women's literature in the 19th century. Its members were some of the most influential female writers of the era, who used their voices to challenge societal norms and promote women's rights. This article will provide a comprehensive history of the VBSWW, examining its founding, membership, activities, and legacy.

Founding and Early Years:

The VBSWW was founded in London in 1884 by a group of women writers, including Charlotte Yonge, Mary Cowden Clarke, and Eliza Lynn Linton. The society was inspired by the growing movement for women's suffrage and the desire to create a space where women could share their work and support each other.

The early years of the VBSWW were marked by challenges and controversy. Some members, like Linton, were outspoken feminists who advocated for women's rights, while others, like Yonge, were more conservative and focused on literary issues. Despite these differences, the society remained united in its mission to promote women's voices in literature.

Membership and Activities:

The VBSWW attracted a diverse membership of women writers, including novelists, poets, journalists, and playwrights. Some of the most notable members included:

* Rhoda Broughton * Frances Power Cobbe * Vernon Lee * Bram Stoker's wife, Florence Balcombe * Margaret Oliphant * Mary Elizabeth Braddon

The society's activities included monthly meetings, where members read and discussed their work, as well as social events and public lectures. The VBSWW also played a role in the founding of the Society of Authors, which continues to represent writers today.

Impact and Legacy:

The VBSWW had a profound impact on the development of women's literature in the Victorian era. Its members were some of the most influential female writers of the time, and their work challenged conventional notions of femininity and gender roles. The society also provided a valuable network for women writers to share their ideas and support each other's work.

The legacy of the VBSWW continues to influence women's literature today. The society's mission to promote women's voices in literature remains as relevant as ever, and its members' work continues to inspire and empower female writers.
