A gadfly is a person known to upset the status quo by posing
upsetting questions or attempting to stimulate innovation by
proving an irritant. Ethel Lilian Voynich was born in Ireland in
the middle of the 19th century. Her life as a writer, musician and
supporter of revolutionary causes spanned almost an entire century.
The Gadfly was published in 1897. The Gadfly, set in Italy, tells
the story of Arthur Burton, a young international revolutionary
member of the Youth Movement. This novel was very popular in the
Soviet Union and was compulsory reading there. The Gadfly was seen
as ideologically useful; for similar reasons and became popular in
the People's Republic of China as well. It is a story of faith,
disillusionment, revolution, romance, and heroism.
