Smith's works - regardless of their genre - were also famous (or notorious) for their highly personal and autobiographical prefaces, in which Smith aired her grievances over the personal and professional indignities to which she was subjected.
Today, Smith is widely studied - and taught - in institutions of higher learning around the world, and the scholarship on her work is rapidly increasing both in quantity and in intellectual and cultural substance.
