2003年8月1日 · It was an odd little scene on the London pavement at ten o’clock at night; so intimately domestic amid surroundings the very antithesis of domesticity. Only a few yards away, a girl, to whom the pavement was a place of commerce, stood laughing with two men.

George Gissing’s 1893 novel, The Odd Women, presents a vivid portrayal of late 19th-century London. At its core are the struggles of “odd” women—unmarried females lacking prospects. Set against the bleak backdrop of the city, the story highlights the plight of women existing outside the conventional marriage market.

Set in a grimy, fog-ridden London, Gissing's "odd" women range from the idealistic, financially self-sufficient Mary Barfoot to the Madden sisters who struggle to subsist in low paying jobs and little chance for joy. With narrative detachment, Gissing portrays contemporary society's blatant ambivalence towards its own period of transition.
