How do these women cut with their bare hands- their surrounding net?
Well, I refer to- Jane, Margaret, Aphra, Virginia and Charlotte,
Who are well known even without their surnames,
And who were well-versed in the field of Literature; to play all kind of games!
The female embodiment of grace,
In the field of writing in which they all were Ace,
Yet none can even now erase,
Their Glorious and Wonderful writing's days.
Austen, Cavendish, Behn, Woolf and Bronte,
Their surnames are enough for knowing the glory to the field of English -
-Literature they had brought,
They too were one of a kind,
And also The Priceless Gems, we may yet never find!
