Book Synopsis New Woman and Colonial Adventure Fiction in Victorian Britain by : LeeAnne M. Richardson
Book excerpt: In the 1880s and 1890s, feminist New Woman fiction and colonial adventure stories competed for the sympathies of their readers. While one form questions a system that proclaims male superiority and the right to dominate others, the second celebrates British male victories over "savage" landscapes, animals, and people.
