Overall: Early on, Davies achieved renown for her mastery of Welsh prosody, a skill then rarely associated with women acc. to the DNB. Some twenty poems of hers are extant in MS form, perhaps in addition to some anonymous MS pieces. Despite having two brothers, Davies received most of her father's estate, which gave her the financial independence to pursue her career as a poet and collector/copyist in preserving Welsh literary culture as well as the work of Females.
