Kit's Woman

Kit's Woman: A Cornish Idyll is a novel written by Mrs. Havelock Ellis and published in 1907. The story takes place in the picturesque setting of Cornwall, England and follows the life of a young woman named Kit who falls in love with a local fisherman named Tom. Despite the disapproval of her wealthy family, Kit marries Tom and they begin a life together on the rugged coast of Cornwall. The novel explores themes of class differences, societal expectations, and the struggle for independence in a time when women were expected to conform to traditional roles. Mrs. Havelock Ellis was a prominent feminist and social reformer, and her novel reflects her progressive views on women's rights and the need for greater equality in society. The book is a charming and romantic tale set against the backdrop of a beautiful and rugged landscape, and offers a glimpse into the lives of the working-class people who inhabited the Cornish coast in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
