Overview"A novel of social realism, The Odd Women reflects the major sexual and cultural issues of the late nineteenth century. Set in a grimy, fog-ridden London, Gissing's ""odd"" women range from the idealistic, financially self-sufficient Mary Barfoot to the Madden sisters who struggle to subsist in low paying jobs and little chance for joy. Gissing portrays contemporary society's blatant ambivalence towards its own period of transition. Astonishingly ahead of its time, ""The Odd Women"" is a pioneering work of early feminism, judged by contemporary critics to be as provocative as Zola and Ibsen" Full Product DetailsAuthor: George GissingPublisher: SMK Books Imprint: SMK Books Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 1.90cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.499kg ISBN: 9781604597004ISBN 10: 1604597003 Pages: 340 Publication Date: 20 May 2009 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
