 | Night & Day by Flo Gibson, Julia Briggs, Suzanne Raitt, Virginia Woolf
Woolf`s heroine is a young unmarried woman, Katherine Hilbery, the granddaughter of a famous, Tennyson-like poet, who resents the social demands placed on her by her illustrious family. Her friend Mary Datchet works for the suffrage movement. Unlike many heroines of novels written during the same period, Katherine is an independent woman--a mathematician who values privacy above all. The novel traces the difficult course of her romance with Ralph Denham, whose origins are vastly different from hers, and follows the fortunes of a series of mismatched couples. The primary focus of Woolf`s female characters is to be true to themselves. Katherine Mansfield compared this novel to the work of Jane Austen.
