The Rebel of the Family (1880) is the first New Woman novel by Eliza Lynn Linton. Perdita Winstanley, the novel's protagonist, struggles to balance the competing demands of her snobbish, conservative mother and sisters, her radical friends in the women's rights movement, and an admirable but low-born chemist and his family. The Rebel of the Family also includes what is perhaps the first literary portrait of the late-Victorian lesbian community in London, featuring Bell Blount and her “little wife” Connie. This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and appendices that help to set the work in its historical and literary contexts.

Focuses on the work of four Victorian anti-feminist women writers-- Eliza Linton, Charlotte Yonge, Mrs. H. Ward, and Margaret Oliphant-- and asks why, despite their own liberated lifestyles, they publicly opposed the advancement of women. Surveys women's anti- feminist attitudes after Mary Wollstonecraft's death, as well as selections from the novelists' best known works and journalism, examining their construction of gender ideals, criticism of the church, and their antagonism to literary predecessors such as Jane Austin and George Eliot. The author stresses their inconsistencies, and suggests that their novels reveal a strong attraction to the world of work. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
