Women, Privacy and Modernity in Early Twentieth-Century British Writing

By Wendy Gan

Book Overview

Privacy is not often thought of as a marker of modernity but a look at British women's writing of the early twentieth century suggests that it should be so. This book examines the female pursuit of privacy, particularly of the spatial kind, as women began to claim privacy as an entitlement of the modern, middle-class woman.
