Eve's Renegades: Victorian Anti-feminist Women Novelists

See all formats and editions

This study focuses on the work of four Victorian anti-feminist women writers - Eliza Lynn Linton, Charlotte M.

Yonge, Mrs Humphry Ward, and Margaret Oliphant - examining their self-contradictory responses to the debate about women's role in family life and society.

Individual chapters review women's anti-feminism from 1792-1850, and fresh readings of their best-known novels emphasize the inconsistencies of their masculine and feminine ideals.
