Elizabeth Gaskell tea towel

Description

The novelist and biographer Elizabeth Gaskell (1810-1865) took as her remit the intricate tapestry of Victorian Britain, capturing the diverse spectrum of social class in her writings. From the opulent to the destitute, Gaskell's characters offer a profound glimpse of the struggles and triumphs of contemporary society. Some scholars credit her writings with laying the foundation for modern feminism, as she depicted the realities faced by women in Victorian society. She investigated the constraints imposed upon women, questioning and challenging the established norms and expectations of the time. Our tea towel pays homage to her literary prowess and her desire for social justice and greater gender equality.
