Odd Women, The by George Gissing (1857 - 1903) LibriVox George Gissing's 1893 novel takes on the 19th century "Woman Question" by looking at themes of feminism, marriage, and love. The novel raises these issues through the lives of several contrasting women: Mary Barfoot, a feminist philanthropist who helps train women for careers; her close friend Rhoda Nunn, who believes marriage is a disastrous choice for women; and Monica Madden, who starts out as one of their protegees but chooses to marry a seemingly kind older man.

That is until she meets Don, a devout and dangerous man driven by forces he does not understand.Surrealistic, shocking, and funny as hell, each episode of “Marry Me Margret” is complete and compelling on its own, but together they create a world and tell a story like you’ve never felt before.So put headphones on and assumptions aside and get ready for "Ma
