About this listen

Presented here are three of the most important feminist novels ever written: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Each of these works is an early groundbreaking piece of fiction from some of literature's finest female writers as they explore life, love, and the struggle of women to find their voices in a time where they were too often silenced and suppressed.

Mrs. Dalloway details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a British socialite in post-First World War England. Looping backwards and forwards in time, the listener is given a glimpse inside the mind of Mrs. Dalloway as she goes about her day. Mrs. Dalloway was included on Time magazine's list of the 100 best English-language novels ever written.

The Yellow Wallpaper is a short story of extraordinary power, exploring issues of mental health, the role of women in society and the oppressive nature of the patriarchy.

The Awakening is a stunningly beautiful novel set in New Orleans that tells the tale of Edna Pontellier, a young housewife attempting to break free from her loveless marriage and find a life of her own.

All three books are presented here in their original and unabridged format.

I was unable to listen after 1 hour of Mrs Dalloway due to the awful ‘English’ accent. I would expect this to be read in ‘heightened RP’ as it is about a well to do English woman, voicing her own thoughts, and written in 1925. The narrator affected a strange mixture of accents, veering from attempted RP to generic northern to a touch of northern Irish, mispronounced major London landmarks (‘Serpenteen’ for Serpentine, the Maul for the Mall- a road in London- etc) and the working class London characters were given voices outside any recognised accent. This may be fine for someone who is not accustomed to English English. But if you are, go for Juliet Stevenson instead.

Dreadful ‘English’ accent
