About this audiobook
The Odd Women is set in a smoggy London, with heroines ranging from the idealistic, financially independent Mary Barfoot; to the Madden sisters who struggle to get by in low paying jobs... Being a fascinating, trailblazing and early work of feminism and social realism, this novel reflects the important sexual and cultural issues of the late nineteenth century. Here women are portrayed as "odd" and marginal in relation to an ideal.
Author
George Gissing
George Gissing (1857-1903) was an English novelist, who published 23 novels between 1880 and 1903. Meagrely successful in his lifetime, he had by the 1940s been recognised as a literary genius, with George Orwell pronouncing that "England has produced few better novelists".
