Also see . . . Dorothy Richardson (Wikipedia). "Dorothy Miller Richardson (17 May 1873 – 17 June 1957) was a British author and journalist. Author of Pilgrimage, a sequence of 13 semi-autobiographical novels–though Richardson saw them as chapters of one work–she was one of the earliest modernist novelists to use stream of consciousness as a narrative technique. Richardson also emphasizes in Pilgrimage the importance and distinct nature of female experiences. The title Pilgrimage alludes not only to 'the journey of the artist ... to self-realization but, more practically, to the discovery of a unique creative form and expression'."
