The Maiden's Progress

The Maiden's Progress is a novel written in dialogue by Violet Hunt and published in 1894. The story follows the lives of two young women, Ursula and Gudrun, as they navigate the complexities of love and society in late 19th-century England. The novel is structured as a series of conversations between the two women and their various friends and acquaintances, exploring themes such as gender roles, class, and sexuality. Ursula, a wealthy and independent woman, is torn between her desire for a traditional marriage and her attraction to a younger man. Gudrun, on the other hand, struggles to find her place in a society that values beauty and marriage above all else. As they both make their way through the social landscape of London, they confront the limitations placed upon them by their gender and class, and ultimately come to their own understandings of what it means to be a woman in their time. The Maiden's Progress is a witty and insightful commentary on Victorian society, and a testament to the power of female friendship and solidarity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
