Sexually transgressive, politically astute and determined to claim
educational and employment rights equal to those enjoyed by men,
the new woman took centre stage in the cultural landscape of
late-Victorian Britain. By comparing the fictional representations
with the lived experience of the new woman, Ledger's book makes a
major contribution to an understanding of the 'woman question' at
the fin de siecle. She alights on such disparate figures as Eleanor
Marx, Gertrude Dix, Dracula, Oscar Wilde, Olive Schreiner and
Radclyffe Hall. Focusing mainly on the last two decades of the
nineteenth century, the book's later chapters project forward into
the twentieth century, considering the relationship between new
woman fiction and early modernism as well as the socio-sexual
inheritance of the 'second generation' new woman writers. -- .
