Reading The Well of Loneliness | Alexandria
Read The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall. Defying 1920s social norms, The Well of Loneliness boldly portrays a masculine woman's quest for love and acceptance in a hostile world. Hall's groundbreaking novel sparked obscenity trials by daring to suggest "sexual inverts" deserve happiness. Its most radical idea? That gender nonconformity is natural, not deviant - a concept still debated today.
