My 3rd. story. Written from The West Cork Literary Festival, Bantry, Ireland.
=
A letter to Clotilde Graves, Irish journalist, author and playwright
=
Clotilde Graves was the first woman to have two plays running simultaneously in London: A Mother of Three and A Matchmaker, which both premiered in 1896. She wrote about sexual abuse, a topic that was hardly recognized in the Victorian era and in a society that ignored issues that could destabilize moral rectitude. Most of her work was therefore seen as a completely inappropriate. But that did not stop her from writing.
