Evans shows how ideas about gender and race in Britain from the 1880s through the 1930s shaped - and were shaped by - London and its literature. She considers canonical realist and modernist authors, from George Gissing to Virginia Woolf, alongside understudied colonial writers like Duse Mohamed Ali and Una Marson.
Introduction: London, 1880-1940: Liminal Sites and Contested Identities; 1. Modern sites for modern types: locating the new public woman; 2. Shops and shop girls: the modern shop, 'counter-jumpers', and the shopgirl's narrative evolution; 3. Streets and the woman walker: when 'street love' meets Flanerie; 4. Women's clubs and clubwomen: 'neutral territory', feminist heterotopia, and failed 'diplomacy'; 5. New public women through colonial eyes: reverse imperial ethnography; Notes; Bibliography; Index.
