This work integrates portraits of historical figures related to each other and fragments of handwritten text: Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin; Dorothy Wordsworth and William Wordsworth; Mary Shelley and Percy Shelley. The work investigates the contributions of those women who, in famous partnerships with men, were considered intellectually inferior by public opinion. Harrison thus demystifies numerous myths while pointing out that all of these characters in literary history were involved in the politics of the time.
