...determine why we would re-read the works of Victorian women writers (including many we had despised in high school) rather than pick up the latest highly touted women's novel. We decided, after several hours, that the Victorian women wrote of ethics, moral choices and heroines who understood that there was more to life than simply deciding whether to cheat on their husbands with one man or two.

"My aim is to be understood by everyone," Grosz wrote in 1925.
