Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Woman Who Did" by Grant Allen is a novel published in 1895. It follows Herminia Barton, a Cambridge-educated woman who deliberately chooses to live with the man she loves without marriage, challenging Victorian social conventions. When tragedy strikes and she becomes a single mother, Herminia dreams of becoming a role model for her daughter and other women. But her principles come at a devastating personal cost, as those closest to her struggle to accept her unconventional choices in a society bound by rigid moral codes.
