Gillian Fenwick?s book on DNB women subjects and writers shows that anyone interested in women?s history might take the Dictionary of National Biography as a starting point. In theory the DNB covers the lives of all British women worthy of note from the beginnings of history: in practice there are 1 518 women among 34 533 men. Here too are small but gradually increasing numbers of women writers working as DNB contributors from the late nineteenth century to the present day.
