| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 22 July 1842:
'I read Mary Wolstonecraft [sic] when I was thirteen: no, twelve! .. and, through the whole
course of my childhood, I had a steady indignation against Nature who made me a woman, &
a determinate resolution to dress up in men's clothes as soon as ever I was free of the
nursery'.
