Shortlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction (1975).

A vivid and provocative literary criticism of famous women writers from Virginia Woolf to Zelda Fitzgerald. The novelist and essayist Elizabeth Hardwick considers the careers of women writers as well as the larger question of the presence of women in literature. A gallery of unforgettable portraits—of Virginia Woolf and Zelda Fitzgerald, Dorothy Wordsworth and Jane Carlyle—as well as a provocative reading of such works as Wuthering Heights, Hedda Gabler, and the poems of Sylvia Plath, Seduction and Betrayal is a virtuoso performance, a major writer's reckoning with the relations between men and women, women and writing, writing and life.
