“A truly happy woman has, it is said, no history”: Relational Utopia in A Woman of To-Morrow: A Tale of the Twentieth Century

Abstract

British novelist and feminist essayist Alice Coralie Glyn is rarely mentioned in studies on Victorian feminism or speculative fiction, despite the distinctive nature of her literary work and biography. Alongside the feminist critical trend exploring the paradigm of the “lost,” “forgotten,” or “overlooked” female author,5 this paper argues that the hybridity of Glyn’s work may also have further contributed to her marginalization.
