British Library Women Writers: My Husband Simon

A curated collection of novels by prominent female authors of their day, the 'British Women's Writers' series highlights women's experiences of life inside and outside the home at a time when the roles of women in society were rapidly changing.

First published in 1931 during the immediate aftermath of D.H.  Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover controversy, My Husband Simon explores the different echelons of the increasingly self-conscious middle class and the ways in which the tensions and nuances of vocabulary, dress, occupation, politics, taste and, ultimately, the literary world contribute to the incompatibility of a marriage.
