 | | The failure to recognise Richardson's role is partly due to the critical neglect of Richardson's writing during her lifetime. |
 | | Richardson can also be read as a feminist writer, not because she overtly calls for equal rights for women but because her work quite simply assumes the validity and importance of female experiences as a subject for literature. |
 | | Richardson's wariness of the conventions of language, her bending to near breaking point of the normal rules of punctuation, sentence length, and so on, are means towards what she termed feminine prose, which she clearly saw as necessary for the expression this female experience. |
