In chauvinistic English society their efforts were not only ignored by many, but severely criticized by those who felt that the Bluestockings were overstepping their bounds as women. Despite these obstacles, these women survived, and some important male allies joined their cause, one of whom is Samuel Johnson. The support of these men carried considerable weight. Among the two women selected, Lennox would not be included in the Bluestockings without Johnson’s affection for her and admiration for her literary talents and her great courage in the face of hardships in her life.
