Grand, Sarah

We have 1 book for this author.

Madame Sarah Grand, born Frances Bellenden Clarke in Ireland (1854-1943) was a feminist writer active from 1873 to 1922 in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Her work dealt with the New Woman in fiction and in fact, she wrote treatises on the subject of the failure of marriage, and her novels, especially the Heavenly Twins, are strongly anti-marriage polemics. The New Woman was a development of the late 19th century; women who wanted to work and learn for themselves, and who started to question the idea of marriage and the inequality of women.
