Resumen
This paper aims to disclose the relevance of the figure of the New Woman in literature and how it propelled a change in Victorian gender roles. I provide an analysis of the context in which New Women’s mentality emerged and how it found a noteworthy medium of expression in literature. I analyse two New Women novels, Sarah Grand’s Ideala and Olive Schreiner’s Story of an African Farm as representative works, from different positions, of this new ideology that challenged Victorian stereotypes. Finally, I connect them to the principles defended by the suffrage movement. To conclude, I prove that New Women’s literature was a potent agent for change that foretold many assumptions and arguments taken by suffragists and suffragettes at the beginning of the 20th century.
