This is a most excellent reference work identifying Woman Poets whose names were almost lost forever in the annals of print. Every name has a brief statement about when and where they lived and worked, and snippets of poems, or history or in some cases, legends are all that remain. A scholarly work, citing countless sources and many, many Anthologies that contain Poetry by these women. This is obviously Jean Buyze's Doctoral Dissertation, and a mighty piece of work it is. Huzzah!

If they didn't give her a degree for this, someone ought to give her an honorary Doctorate! What a GEM.

Lucky Me, I found it in a Friends of the Library Book Sale for 10 cents. If I can find her, I will send her more money!
