"I had always felt a deep sympathy with the care-worn men, who looked as if doomed to struggle through their lives in strange alternations between work and want." -Elizabeth Gaskell
Elizabeth Gaskell, 1810-1865, produced no less than 46 written works during her lifetime, including novels, short stories, and non-fiction. She set a new precedent for Victorian women by succeeding as a writer, mother, and wife. Some of her more famous works are North and South and Cranford.
