Writer Sarah Scott (whose name of single was Sarah Robinson) was born in the year 1723, in the bosom of a well-off family of Yorkshire (United Kingdom). She started writing at early age. Her sister was Elizabeth Montagu, member of the circle " Bluestocking ". In 1748 she met Lady Barbara Montagu (that in spite of the surname did not had any relation with her sister), with whom she supported an intimate friendship up to her death. In 1751 she married George Lewis Scott, and she would separate one year later because of her unhappiness. After her family was "rescuing" her of the marriage, she was to live with Lady Barbara Montagu and began a life dedicated to the benefactions and to the Literature. She tried to begin a " Utopian community " with her sister Elizabeth and several friends.
Sarah published her first novel, The History of Cornelia, in 1750. From this year and up to her death she published four more novels and three stories, supporting the anonymity. Her most famous work was Millenium Hall (1762), in which she was defying the system sex - genre and was offering an alternative to the typical sexual roll of the woman. In her work she was showing a new conception of the feminine sexuality in the XVIIIth century and was criticizing the preconceptions on the lesbian relations inside what she knew as "romantic friendship". In Millenium Hall, Sarah used a narrative form that was defying the patriarchy with histories on a group of "happily single women" at the end of her romantic adventures.
