In 1750 at the age of twentyseven Sarah Scott published her first novel, a conventional romance. A year later she left her husband after only a few months of marriage and devoted herself thereafter to writing and to promoting such causes as the creation of secular and separatist female communities. This revolutionary concept was given flesh in Millenium Hall, first published in 1762 and generally thought to be the finest of her six novels.The text may be seen as the manifesto of the bluestocking movementthe protean feminism that arose under eighteenthcentury gentry capitalism (originating in 1750, largely under the impetus of Scotts sister Elizabeth Montagu), and that rejected a world which early feminists saw symbolized in the black silk stockings demanded by formal society. It is a comment on Western society as well as on the strengths of Scotts novel that the message of Millenium Hall continues to resonate strongly more than two centuries later.
