New Woman fiction, a term used to describe late 19th-cent. writings which foreground the ideas and actions of the ‘New Woman’, a phrase said to have been coined by
Ouida when responding to S.
Grand's article ‘The New Aspects of the Woman Question’, 1894. Grand's own novels, like
The Heavenly Twins (1893) and
The Beth Book (1897), include many elements associated with this agent and representative of social change: attacks on sexual double standards; demands for better employment and educational opportunities for women; frankness about matters like venereal disease and sex education; and questioning of traditional attitudes towards marriage and woman's place in the family and in relation to motherhood. The first example of the genre is probably
Schreiner's Story of an African Farm (1883). Other notable writers include E. F. Brooke (1845–1926),
Caird, E. H. Dixon (1857–1932), G.
Egerton, and M. M. Dowie.
Ibsen and
Gissing are among the male writers who addressed similar themes.

SOUL is good. You are told to get some if you are lacking it. For many it is the thing that defines us. Some people even believe that you can measure it in terms of weight -- even to the point of the moment your personal one leaves you at death. Black soul music bathes the spirit in power whether you are a Commitment-style "white black" from Dublin's Northside or a brother from the Bronx.
