Goddess of Discord pleads to London ladies amid exile
The piece voices a banished goddess lamenting her removal from polite society as London and Westminster ladies shun entertainments. She recalls former influence, notes rival goddesses, and recounts moves from court to city and a garret lodging, urging readmission to their amusements. The essay rails at critics and extols female wit.
