The Woman Who Did is a novel by British author Grant Allen, first published in 1895. The story revolves around a young woman named Herminia Barton, who defies the societal norms of the Victorian era by refusing to marry and instead pursues a career as an artist. Herminia's decision to remain single and independent causes great scandal among her family and peers, and she faces numerous challenges and obstacles as a result. Despite the opposition she faces, Herminia remains steadfast in her beliefs and ultimately achieves success and fulfillment in both her personal and professional life. The novel is a powerful critique of the restrictive gender roles and expectations placed on women during the Victorian era, and remains a significant work of feminist literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
