The Odd Women by George R. Gissing

Paperback, Very Good condition

Genre: Historical Fiction / Women's Fiction

Set in London in the 1890s, this powerful novel tells the story of five of these `odd women'. Alice and Virginia Madden are reduced to genteel poverty by the death of their improvident father; their pretty sister Monica chooses a loveless marriage to escape their fate; Rhoda Nunn and her friend Mary Barfoot devote their lives to helping young women find emotional as well as economic independence.

Rhoda is the embodiment of all that was meant by the New Woman - brave, spirited, feminine, seeking not to reject men, but to create for both sexes new ways of living, new freedoms from old constraints, including, if necessary, marriage. Into her life comes Mary's engaging and forceful cousin Everard. Mutually attracted, they are drawn into a passionate struggle for supremacy from which Rhoda emerges with a new understanding of what love between man and woman can mean, and what its implications are for a woman determined also to be true to herself.
