描述 | .This book offers the first comprehensive treatment of the fiction of Constance Antonina (Nina) Boyle: a suffragette described in one obituary as ‘second only to Mrs Pankhurst‘. Boyle was a well-known campaigner and was the first woman to stand for selection as a candidate in an election in the UK. However, her novels have been all but forgotten. This study explores Boyle‘s early fiction and focuses on her first five novels - each of which represents a retelling of established narratives. It explores how Boyle used her fiction to voice her radical gender politics within a culture that was becoming increasingly hostile to even discussing women‘s rights outside of the extension of the franchise. This book will be of interest to scholars of women‘s suffrage as well as anyone interested in popular fiction of the 1920s.. |
