The Woman Who Did (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162757032)

The Woman Who Did is a novel by British author Grant Allen, first published in 1895. The story follows the life of Herminia Barton, a young, independent woman who defies Victorian society's expectations of women by choosing to live alone and pursue her passion for art. Herminia's unconventional lifestyle and beliefs lead her into conflict with her family and the wider community, who view her as a scandalous figure. Despite facing social ostracism and personal tragedy, Herminia remains steadfast in her determination to live life on her own terms. The novel explores themes of gender roles, societal norms, and personal freedom, and is considered a pioneering work of feminist literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
