Información de este libro electrónico

«En este feliz país nuestro hay medio millón más de mujeres que de hombres. [...] Tantas mujeres solteras para las que no existe posibilidad de pareja. Los pesimistas las llaman vidas inútiles, perdidas y vanas. Ni que decir tiene que yo, como parte integrante de ese grupo, no pienso así.»

Estas palabras de Rhoda Nunn, la heroína de Mujeres singulares (1893), que trabaja para «endurecer el corazón de las mujeres» y es un modelo de independencia para ellas, introducen acertadamente el problemático ambiente de esta novela, en la que el proyecto de emancipación feminista, en lo económico y en lo intelectual, se entrelaza con una ilustración profunda y acerada de los avatares del «corazón» comprometido en estas causas. Dos historias de amor puntúan el conflicto: por un lado, la propia Rhoda, halagada por el galanteo de un hombre liberal y poco ortodoxo que se ha propuesto conquistarla; y por otro, la joven Monica Madden, que se casa con un solterón al que no ama y que llegará a considerar la posibilidad de fugarse con un amante como «un deshonor comparable a quedarse junto al hombre que reclamaba legalmente su compañía».

Como dijo Virginia Woolf, «Gissing es uno de esos novelistas extremadamente insólitos, que cree en el poder de la inteligencia, que hace a sus personajes pensar», y Mujeres singulares es un magnífico ejemplo de los dramáticos vaivenes de la experiencia y de su pensamiento.

    A definite winner in my eyes. There are some books that just make you think and this is one of them. Taking the idea of 'odd women' and turning it into a novel is just brillant.

    Odd women are those women who are left after all other eligible men and women have been paired in marriage. These women are not outcasts per se but definitely live a much different life than those who have a husband.

    Some of the women in this novel embrace the distinction while others are so afraid of becoming one that they make poor choices which resonate over their lifetime. One example is that of Monica Madden, alone in the world, she must support herself as a shop-girl. This profession is harsh and with a limitless supply of desparate workers; there is little to advance any worker's condition for the better. As soon as one worker is depleted there are many others ready to fill a position.

    When an opportunity to marry a man of distinction and means presents itself, Monica is so afraid of losing this singular opportunity that she makes a decision in haste. This decision later becomes a central point in the story and leads to numerous bad decisions and complications.

    At the same time, there are other women in the novel who embrace their freedom and control; these are odd women who have found a purpose. The pioneers who create the tide of liberation for women.

    Rhoda Nunn, a peer and friend to Monica, is a perfect example of the type of woman that laid a path for future women to benefit from. Although she presents as a judgemental character at times, Rhoda is able to stand strong in her beliefs and desires and not become, as so many others do, beholden to any one man.

    I loved this novel and there is much too much to describe. I can see a book club embracing this for a wonderful discussion. So many themes to explore: love, class, economic oppression, capitalism, feminism, desire, morals, just to name a few.

    Thank you again Sera for introducing me to this gem!

    Disappointing. Not much else to say really - seems more a work about feminists than a feminist work. The characters spend a lot of time talking and a little time doing; they make no effort to achieve their ideals. With the exception of Rhoda Nunn, all Gissing has actually shown is how susceptible women are to the charms of men and other vices, regardless of what their minds dictate.

    A little hard to read because most of the articles were written during the 1800s, but worth the read. This book tells us where women were situated before they became "emancipared." They didn't even own their own souls!

    The topic was excellent and deserved five stars - Gissing makes a really strong argument for the need for feminism and every character's story was believable, interesting and revealing. The writing is, however, heavy and forceful and it took me such a long time to finish this. I felt closer to Rhoda's opinions throughout and the book's got some strong quotes but Monica's plight, however important to the story, was handled in a way that could have been shorter and still to the point. I'm so sad the writing prevented me from fully appreciating this novel but I really recommend it for the points it makes and the overview of rather well-off women's options at the end of the 19th century.

    I learned a lot about myself hike reading this excellent book. I didn’t realize how completely conditioned I am to both expect and desire a conventional romantic “happy ending.”Gissing’s story of several Victorian-era women who are “odd” in more than one sense is mesmerizing. The main character is Rhoda, a fiercely independent woman who eventually falls in love with a man. The working-out of their relationship forms the backbone of the book, but many other characters and plots are explored. Although Rhoda and her friend Mary are on the upper side of middle class, Gissing includes several working-class women and their struggles; none are trivialized. He has a fascinating insight into women’s problems and ideas. The weak spot of the book is a trite solution to a particular problem. But that solution is also realistic in its own way. All in all, this is a great exploration of the hopes, fears, and ideals of Victorian women. Be warned though, that it’s not in any sense a light read.

    The writing is not too bad, as it reads easily, but the story is pretty mundane and directionless, with women in various stages of late-nineteenth-century feminism circling in or around the institution of marriage, and then ending up exactly where they started. Some critics claim that THE ODD WOMEN is a naturalist novel, in which everything must and will revert back to its original state of entropy. But I never got emotionally invested even in the characters’ long circle back to their original states. Overall, a mindless, slightly pleasant but mostly forgettable read.
