The Odd Women

By Gissing George

The Odd Women follows the lives of sisters Mary and Rhoda Barbara. Mary struggles to make her own way in 19th century London's male-dominated society, while her younger sister Rhoda struggles to fulfill her role as a woman in their family. As they navigate the unfairness of society and the changing norms around gender roles and social expectations, the sisters must come to terms with their own reflections in the mirror.
