Set in late 19th-century England, this novel explores the lives of women who defy societal norms. It focuses on the struggles of several female characters, particularly the "odd women" who remain unmarried and seek independence in a male-dominated world. Through their experiences, themes of gender inequality, social expectations, and the quest for personal fulfillment are examined. Gissing's poignant narrative highlights the challenges and aspirations of women during a transformative period in history.
