About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 5 full-page plates by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Louis Moeller and Charles Towne. A club founded on the principle that no woman need marry, and the applications it receives. Zangwill wrote it as a serial full of jokes at the expense of the New Woman and her critics equally, and it is the lightest thing he ever did. This edition adds five plates after Charles Towne, Louis Moeller, André-Henri Dargelas and Renoir, and forty-two illustrations restored and coloured for the first time.
