Sinopse
Características

In a career that spanned over forty years, Ella Hepworth Dixon (1857-1932) was alternately journalist, critic, essayist, short story writer, novelist, editor of a womens magazine, dramatist, and autobiographer. After an initial popularity, however, Ella Hepworth Dixons work, like that of the majority of her contemporaries, remained largely unread for decades. In her new study, Valerie Fehlbaum sheds light on Dixons life and work, and provides profound insight not only into Dixon herself but into the multifaceted character of the New Woman writer that Dixon typified. The figure of the New Woman as representing new-found intellectual, social, and political freedom came to the fore towards the end of the nineteenth century when the term woman was being interrogated on every imaginable level. In heated debates about womans nature, primary questions such as what is a woman? and what does a woman want? were accompanied by subsidiary controversies about the precise role she should play in society. Fehlbaums re-evaluation of Dixons varied literary output enhances our understanding of this period of radical change for women, and shows that Ella Hepworth Dixons writing remains as lively and pertinent today as it was when it was first published.
