Woman's Work in English Fiction

Woman's Work in English Fiction, from the Restoration to the Mid-Victorian Period is a classic women in literature/women's studies text by Clara Helen Whitmore. The writings of many of the women considered in this volume have sunk into an oblivion from which their intrinsic merit should have preserved them. This is partly due to the fact that nearly all the books on literature have been written from a man's stand-point. While in other arts the tastes of men and women vary little, the choice of novels is to a large degree determined by sex.
