Abstract
From Grant Allen’s The Woman Who Did to Victoria Crosse’s The Woman Who Didn’t, the label ‘New Woman’ signalled new, or newly perceived, forms of femininity which were brought to public attention in the last two decades of the nineteenth century. According to the Westminster Review in 1895:
it is not possible to ride by road or rail, to read a review, a magazine or a newspaper, without being continually reminded of the subject which lady-writers love to call the Woman Question. ‘The Eternal Feminine’, the ‘Revolt of the Daughters,’ the Woman’s Volunteer Movement, Women’s Clubs, are significant expressions a effective landmarks.1

See also Gagnier, The Insatiability of Human Wants: Economics and Aesthetics in Market Society (Chicago University Press, 2000), esp. chapters 2 and 5; Gagnier notes that by the time of Olive Schreiner’s Woman and Labour (1911) the idea of progress had become biologized, and hence narrower: progress for all was no longer considered an option.
Richard K. P. Pankhurst, William Thompson, 1775–1833: Britain’s Pioneer Socialist, Feminist and Co-Operator (London: Watts, 1954). As Taylor notes, the book was written largely to refute James Mill’s argument that female enfranchisement was unnecessary because the political interests of women were ‘contained’ in those of their fathers and husbands, and constituted a sustained critique of the bourgeois liberal assumptions on which James Mill’s case had been based (Taylor, chapter 1).
