The Story of a Modern WomanHardcover, 1 August 1990

Rather than fitting the journalistic stereotype of a New Woman of the 1890s, this novel's heroine must earn her own living in a society whose power and values are rooted firmly in a patriarchal system. In struggling to make her way, she sees the need for solidarity among women. The Story of a Modern Woman lays bare the relationship between social expectations and women's capacity to achieve self-fulfillment.
