Book Description:
|
In the late nineteenth century, the 'New Woman' was an emblem of fashionable modernity (or of sexual anarchy, depending on the point of view).The 'New Women' themselves were keen to point out that they did not exist as a single entity, and Feminist Forerunners demonstrates their surprising range and variety, but this important reassessment shows they nonetheless truly justify the title of feminist forerunners.
