My Flirtations

by Ella Hepworth Dixon

My Flirtations' by Ella Hepworth Dixon is a witty and observant semi-autobiographical novel that provides a unique feminine perspective on Victorian society. Through the eyes of Peggy, the protagonist, the novel explores the complexities of flirtation, marriage, and the oppression faced by women and other marginalized groups during the era. Peggy's candid and often humorous account of her experiences exposes the social inequalities and double standards that constrained individuals, particularly women, in their pursuit of love, fulfillment, and self-expression.
