Backwater Pilgrimage Vol 2 - Dorothy Richardson

"Backwater" is the second volume of Dorothy Richardson's groundbreaking "Pilgrimage" series, which explores the life of Miriam Henderson, a character drawn from the author's own experiences. Set against the backdrop of a girls' school in North London, Miriam grapples with societal expectations, the complexities of marriage, the essence of happiness, and the intricacies of family relationships. Richardson's innovative use of "interior monologue" and her focus on female experiences make this work a significant contribution to feminist literature.
