This volume is a comprehensive and transatlantic literary study of women's 19th-and-20th-century fiction.

Firstly, it introduces and explores the concept of women's affective labour, and examines literary representations of this work in British and American fiction written by women between 1848 and 1915.

Secondly, it revives largely ignored texts by the 'scribbling women' of Britain and America, such as Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Mona Caird, and Mary Hunter Austin, and rereads established authors, such as Elizabeth Gaskell, Kate Chopin, and Edith Wharton, to demonstrate how all these works provide valuable insights into women's lives in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
