Grant Allen’s novel, ‘The Woman Who Did’, challenges societal norms of the late 19th century by telling the story of a woman who chooses to live independently and pursue her own happiness, regardless of social conventions. The narrative is written in a straightforward, yet thought-provoking style that reflects the author’s progressive views on gender equality and personal freedom. Set within the literary context of the New Woman movement, Allen’s work stands out as a feminist novel ahead of its time, addressing controversial topics with courage and honesty. The novel serves as a powerful critique of Victorian society and its limitations on individual autonomy. Grant Allen’s ‘The Woman Who Did’ is a must-read for those interested in feminist literature, social history, and the evolution of women’s rights. Allen’s own background as a social reformer and supporter of women’s suffrage sheds light on his motivation for writing such a groundbreaking novel, making this work an important contribution to the feminist literary canon.
