This book views late Victorian femininity, the New Woman, and gender through literary representations of the figure of the monster, an appendage to the New Woman. The monster, an aberrant occurrence, performs Brecht's "alienation effect," making strange the world that she inhabits, thereby drawing veiled conclusions about the New Woman and gender at the end of the fin-de-siecle. The monster reveals that New Women loved one another complexly, not just as "friend" or "lover," but both "friend" and "lover." The monster, like the fin-de-siecle British populace, mocked the New Woman's modernity. She was paradoxically viewed as a threat to society and as a role model for women to follow. The tragic suicides of "monstrous" New Women of color suggest that many fin-de-si. |
