Mary Cholmondeley’s ‘Red Pottage’ is a rich and complex novel that delves into the societal norms and expectations of late 19th century England. The book follows the lives of two women, one rebellious and unconventional, the other traditional and reserved, as they navigate love, marriage, and morality. Cholmondeley’s writing style is characterized by its sharp wit, keen satire, and insightful social commentary. The novel is considered a foundational work in the feminist literary tradition, challenging conventional gender roles and questioning the constraints placed upon women in Victorian society. Through its vivid characters and intricate plot, ‘Red Pottage’ offers readers a thought-provoking exploration of the struggles and triumphs of women during this period. Mary Cholmondeley, a prolific novelist and social critic, drew inspiration for ‘Red Pottage’ from her own experiences and observations of the limitations placed on women in her time. Her keen eye for detail and deep understanding of human nature shine through in this compelling work. I highly recommend ‘Red Pottage’ to readers interested in feminist literature, social history, and engaging storytelling.
