Women outside heterosexual marriage in this period were seen as abnormal, superfluous, incomplete and threatening, yet were also hailed as women of the future. Before 1850 odd women were marginalised, minor characters in British women fiction, yet by the 1930s spinsters, lesbians and widows had become heroines. This book examines how women writers, including Charlotte BronteÌ, Elisabeth Gaskell, Ella Hepworth Dixon, May Sinclair, E. H. young, Radclyffe Hall, Winifred Holtby and Virginia Woolf, challenged dominant perceptions of singleness and lesbianism in their novels, stories and autobiographies. 505 0 $a Female redundancy, widowhood and the mid-Victorian heroine -- Bachelor girls, mistresses and the New Woman heroine -- Spinster heroines, aunts and widowed mothers, 1910-39 -- The misfit lesbian heroine of inter-war fiction -- Professional spinsters, older women and widowed heroines in the 1930s. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women in literature. 650 0 $a Single women in literature. 650 0 $a Widows in literature. 650 0 $a Lesbians in literature. 650 07 $a Englisch. $0 (DE-588)4014777-0 $2 gnd 650 07 $a Frauenliteratur. $0 (DE-588)4113622-6 $2 gnd 650 07 $a Ledige Frau (Motiv) $0 (DE-588)4276155-4 $2 gnd 650 07 $a Lesbierin (Motiv) $0 (DE-588)4295831-3 $2 gnd 650 07 $a Witwe (Motiv) $0 (DE-588)4190131-9 $2 gnd 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a English fiction $x Women authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910866 650 7 $a Lesbians in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996587 650 7 $a Single women in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119476 650 7 $a Widows in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174981 650 7 $a Women in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177912 648 7 $a 1800 - 1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706020223.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180125063836.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=694883DA55EF11E58B7A61D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
