"""Women at Odds builds on and complicates existing critical conversations in Victorian and feminist studies. Das defies the long-held assumption that solidarity and collaboration are the basis for women's progress, highlighting instead how some women are marginalized to enable the advancement of others."" --Rachel Hollander, author of Narrative Hospitality in Late Victorian Fiction: Novel Ethics ""Das reframes the conversation around social dynamics among women in Victorian fiction, presenting a fresh perspective on oft-studied texts. Thought-provoking close readings informed by a historicist lens on gender, class, race, and other forms of difference make Women at Odds essential reading for scholars of Victorian literature, gender, and narrative."" --Lise Shapiro Sanders, author of Consuming Fantasies: Labor, Leisure, and the London Shopgirl, 1880-1920"
