Sir Isaac is dogmatically opposed to women getting the vote. His young wife, Ellen, sees things differently. She declares herself a suffragette, breaking a shop window during a protest because she finds time in jail preferable to life with her husband. Wells’s 1914 novel is one of his most successful social comedies.

His “scientific romances” speculated about the future, scientific advancements, and outer space. His works include The Time Machine, and The War of the Worlds.
