Las hermanas escritoras Jane y Mary Findlater, también conocidas como las hermanas Findlater, compartieron un vínculo profundo que infundió tanto sus esfuerzos literarios colaborativos como individuales. Sus obras, a menudo inspiradas en la historia y la vida cotidiana de la sociedad escocesa de principios del siglo XX, exploran las oportunidades restringidas para las mujeres y examinan críticamente el matrimonio como la única culminación de la vida. Juntas, rechazan la noción de que una vida solitaria se desperdicia, celebrando en cambio el cultivo del "Yo" y apreciando los placeres de la existencia cotidiana. Su prosa, que combina una aguda observación con una profunda comprensión de las experiencias de las mujeres, a menudo se considera la cúspide de su legado literario compartido.
