Product Description
In a career that spanned over forty years Ella Hepworth Dixon (1857-1932) was alternately journalist critic essayist short story writer novelist editor of a women's magazine dramatist and autobiographer. After an initial popularity however Ella Hepworth Dixon's work like that of the majority of her contemporaries remained largely unread for decades. In her new study Valerie Fehlbaum sheds light on Dixon's life and work and provides profound insight not only into Dixon herself but into the multifaceted character of the 'New Woman' writer that Dixon typified. The figure of the New Woman as representing new-found intellectual social and political freedom came to the fore towards the end of the nineteenth century when the term 'woman' was being interrogated on every imaginable level. In heated debates about woman's nature primary questions such as 'what is a woman?' and 'what does a woman want?' were accompanied by subsidiary controversies about the precise role she should play in society. Fehlbaum's re-evaluation of Dixon's varied literary output enhances our understanding of this period of radical change for women and shows that Ella Hepworth Dixon's writing remains as lively and pertinent today as it was when it was first published. | Ella Hepworth Dixon The Story of a Modern Woman
