Gallia (novel)
''Gallia'' is an 1895 novel written by Ménie Muriel Dowie. It is usually categorised as a New Woman novel. Plot introduction Set mainly in 1890s London and rural Surrey, ''Gallia'' is about a conventional aristocratic family with an unconventional daughter, who is the eponymous heroine of the story. However, Gallia does not openly rebel against society by, say, demanding equal rights for women or by deliberately breaking social rules. Rather, she leads a quiet, inconspicuous life, outwardly conforming to all the norms she is expected to observe. Her unconventionality is expressed in her unusual thoughts and ideas, in particular on human reproduction, which are given broad scope by the narrator. Thus, ''Gallia'' can be read as a philosophical novel. Plot summary Source: Ever since their only child Gallia decided to get a university education about five years ago, Lord and Lady Hamesthwaite have been carefully watching their daughter's silent alienation from their world and ...
