The '50 Feminist Classics in One Volume' gathers groundbreaking literary works that have shaped and challenged the discourse of gender equality and societal roles through piercing narrative artistry. Spanning over two centuries, this anthology integrates a rich variety of prose, from the reflective Austenian social critique to Woolf's stream of consciousness and the stark realism of Hardy and Dreiser.

These works not only align with but also propel various historical and cultural feminist movements, offering readers an extensive analysis of societal evolution concerning gender equality.
