Love and Eugenics in the Late Nineteenth Century
Rational Reproduction and the New Woman
Angelique Richardson
Reviews and Awards
"This is a bravely revisionist reading, which will give considerable pause for thought to all those who have enthusiastically embraced and celebrated the progressive, protofeminist aspects of the New Woman movement.... Richardson exposes not just the class biases, but in some cases the antihumanitarianism of these writers."--Studies in English Literature 1500-1900
"Richardson provides an important analysis of 'The Woman Question' in 19th-century Britain through a tour of the ideas of Darwin, Galton, Mill, and three Victorian novelists: Sarah Grand, George Egerton (Mary Chavelita Dunne), and Mona Caird."--Choice
