| Ella Hepworth Dixonâ s The Story of a Modern Woman originally appeared in serial form in the womenâ s weekly The Ladyâ s Pictorial. Like Hepworth Dixon herself, the novelâ s heroine Mary Erle is a woman writer struggling to make her living as a journalist in the 1880s. Forced by her fatherâ s sudden death to support herself, Mary Erle turns to writing three-penny-a-line fiction, works that (as her editor insists) must have a ball in the first volume, a picnic and a parting in the second, and an opportune death in the third. This Broadview editionâ s rich selection of historical documents helps contextualize The Story of a Modern Woman in relation to contemporary debates about the â New Woman.â |
