About the book

The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall, a groundbreaking novel, tells the story of Stephen Gordon, a woman born into an upper-class family in England. From an early age, Stephen feels different from other girls. She is more comfortable in traditionally masculine clothing and activities, and as she grows older, she realizes her sexual attraction to women. The novel chronicles Stephen's life from her childhood in the English countryside to adulthood. She faces social ostracism and struggles with her identity and the expectations placed upon her by society. Despite these challenges, Stephen pursues love and happiness, engaging in relationships with other women, which are often met with disapproval and heartache. Stephen's journey takes her through the tumultuous times of World War I, where she serves as an ambulance driver, and into the post-war period. The novel explores themes of gender, sexuality, and societal norms, notable for its portrayal at a time when such subjects were taboo.
