Something Rhymed
We've all heard of the friendships between Wordsworth and Coleridge, Byron and Shelley, Hemingway and Fitzgerald. But have you ever wondered whether Jane Austen had a writer pal, or what about George Eliot?
Something Rhymed is a website about the important friendships between famous female authors. Writer pals Emily Midorikawa and Emma Claire Sweeney profile a different pair of friends each month, and then challenge themselves to complete an activity based on a prominent feature of that relationship.
By shining a light on this neglected aspect of literary lore, Something Rhymed brings female friendship out of the shadows.
