The New Woman in Fiction and in Fact

Abstract

“[This collection] offers a useful overview of the movements [at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century] that comprised the New Woman in England. . . . Overall, I recommend this volume of essays, especially to those of us engaged in teaching the British novel. While it makes a relatively small contribution to utopian studies per se, as a part of the larger project of recovering popular and elite novels in the fin-de-siécle in England and popular and elite versions of feminism, this volume offers interesting literary commentary and historical and cultural context.”
