Poetry of the New Woman

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the cultural and literary figure of the New Woman, this work explores how her poetry reflects the same themes of empowerment and reform that characterize her fiction. While the New Woman movement aimed to expand educational, professional, and domestic opportunities for women, the poetry associated with this movement has been largely overlooked. This book seeks to highlight the significant issues and beliefs shared among New Women, illustrating how their poetic expressions contribute to the broader discourse on female conditions in Victorian society.
