Books like The rebel of the family by Eliza Lynn Linton


Eliza Lynn Linton’s 1880 novel The Rebel of the Family is regarded as the first New Woman story, charting protagonist Perdita Winstanley’s effort to balance a snobbish, conservative home with the excitement of her friends’ feminism and the practical reality of a romance with a modest chemist. The book is noteworthy for including what may be the earliest literary portrayal of a late‑Victorian lesbian community in London, featuring characters Bell Blount and her close companion Connie.
