H. G. Wells 
Wife of Sir Isaac Harman [PDF ebook] 

H. G. Wells was a key figure in early science fiction, but he also explored other genres over the course of his long and varied literary career. Often, he used fiction as a vehicle to illustrate his progressive political views. In The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman, Wells takes a hard look at gender inequality in the early twentieth century and the havoc it wreaked in marital relationships.
