The Rebel of the Family (1880) is the first New Woman novel by
Eliza Lynn Linton. Perdita Winstanley, the novel's protagonist,
struggles to balance the competing demands of her snobbish,
conservative mother and sisters, her radical friends in the women's
rights movement, and an admirable but low-born chemist and his
family. The Rebel of the Family also includes what is perhaps the
first literary portrait of the late-Victorian lesbian community in
London, featuring Bell Blount and her "little wife" Connie. This
Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and appendices
that help to set the work in its historical and literary contexts.
