The Call


Written when she was nearly fifty, Edith Ayrton Zangwill’s novel draws upon feminist experiences which span the development of the New Woman, the struggle for the Vote, and the changes brought about by women’s role in the First World War. Feminism over this period inevitably took a number of very different trajectories and the diverse nature of its concerns are reflected both in fie broad scope of the novel’s perspective and in the hybridity of its form. Energetic in its stance, yet nuanced in its political explorations, The Call deploys its retrospective relationship to the women’s suffrage campaign to powerful effect in reassessing and reconfiguring the meaning and significance of the fight for women’s rights. In contrast to other novels in this collection, therefore, it offers an evaluation of the women’s suffrage struggle in a broader historical context.
