Opis

Republished for the first time since 1928, this novel offers fascinating insights into early 20th-century women s writing, most notably Virginia Woolf s theories of female creativity and fulfilled female sexuality, which is not under threat from motherhood; female economic and psychic freedom; and the social milieu of the time. It is an engaging and fast moving narrative with lively, well-drawn, and unconventional characters and the novel poses important questions about women s choices and aspirations before, during, and after marriage. Penned by a woman whose work in the area of sexual health and contraception has left a lasting legacy, "Love s Creation" is a working through of the debates that Marie Stopes addressed both in her personal and public life: sexual relations, the relationship between the arts and sciences, the quest for female sexual fulfillment."
