Abstract

In 2007, in a special edition of Kōtare: New Zealand Notes & Queries, Kirstine Moffat offered a biographical sketch of the feminist and author, Edith Searle Grossmann (1863–1931). Moffat described Grossmann in her online article as writing ‘the two most significant New Zealand novels to come out of the nineteenth-century women’s movement’, and remarked that Grossmann’s In Revolt (1893) and A Knight of the Holy Ghost (1907, republished as Hermione: A Knight of the Holy Ghost in 1908) offered ‘powerful critiques of [the] gender inequities’ existing in New Zealand before the First World War.
