Fabian Feminist: Bernard Shaw and Woman, edited by Rodelle Weintraub, presents a rich and rigorous anthology of essays that illuminates Shaw's complex, often contradictory relationship with feminism, examining how his Fabian socialist convictions shaped the bold, independent women who populate his dramatic canon — from Candida and Major Barbara to Saint Joan and Eliza Doolittle.\n\nThe collection draws together leading Shaw scholars to argue that his feminism was neither incidental nor ornamental, but a cornerstone of his intellectual and artistic identity, rooted in his belief that the liberation of women was inseparable from the broader liberation of society. Each essay dissects a different facet of Shaw's thought — his attitudes toward marriage, sexuality, creative woman, and economic independence — revealing a portrait of a man simultaneously ahead of his time and bound by its contradictions. For readers of drama, gender studies, and intellectual history, this volume raises a provocative question that lingers long after the final page: can a man truly be a feminist, or only ever an admiring witness to a revolution he cannot fully join?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336820728027,"sku":"2026200016383-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/88ff764d-c8aa-4a8c-bf72-96d7dfd23a4f.png?v=1789958929","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016383-secondhand-fabian-feminist-bernard-shaw-and-woman","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
