Queer Lady Judas (1905)

Beschreibung

Queer Lady Judas is a novel written by Rita in 1905. The book tells the story of a young woman named Judith, who is known as ""Lady Judas"" due to her unconventional behavior and her tendency to cross-dress. Judith is a member of the upper-class society in England and is engaged to a man named Cyril. However, Judith is not interested in Cyril and is instead attracted to a woman named Muriel. As the story progresses, Judith becomes increasingly conflicted about her feelings for Muriel and her duty to marry Cyril. She also faces scrutiny and judgment from society for her non-conforming behavior. The novel explores themes of gender and sexuality, as well as the limitations placed on women in Victorian society. Queer Lady Judas was controversial at the time of its release due to its portrayal of lesbianism and gender non-conformity. However, it has since been recognized as an important work in the history of LGBTQ+ literature. The book offers a unique perspective on the experiences of queer women in the early 20th century and challenges traditional notions of gender and sexuality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
