In 1893, Edith Searle Grossmann (1863-1931) published her second novel, In Revolt. Appearing at the cusp of the New Woman phenomenon, In Revolt marked Grossmann‘s keen interest in the women‘s movement of the late nineteenth century. The novel portrayed, in unflinching detail, the powerlessness of unhappily married, uneducated women; noting the novel‘s strident tone, modern-day critics have regarded the text as voicing Grossmann‘s ̳feminist protest [...against] the evils of male domination‘ (Moffat).
