Margaret Holroyd; Or, The Pioneers.

£250 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

An important suffragette novel by this immensely productive (over 200 novels!) Scottish author, whose normal output was light romance. She is receiving something of reassessment by the academic community now, having always been dismissed as a purveyor of sentimental domestic scenes: this title is always cited as an outlier and is her only explicitly feminist book. Frontispiece and four illustrations by T. H. Robinson. Contemporary gift inscription from an aunt to her niece. Spine a little dulled, offsetting to plates, otherwise a very good copy.

• Year: 1910
