description: A 19th century feminist novel that focuses on woman's right to pursue their own career rather than just looking after a household. This is only nascent feminism; Gissing argues that women should have as much opportunity as men in the workplace but holds that men are superior intelectually. This was radical stuff for the 19th century!
