About this listen

In the heart of Victorian London, Helen and Olivia Rossetti were not your average young girls; they were visionary pioneers. While still in their youth, they launched a groundbreaking anarchist journal that attracted some of the most influential figures of their time to their vibrant salon. Drawing from their unique experiences, they co-authored this captivating 1903 novel, where the narrator, Isabel Meredith, provides an intimate glimpse into the countercultural world of late-19th century British anarchism. This bold exploration of ideas was a striking departure from the conventional roles expected of women in Victorian society.
