Chaste as Ice, Pure as Snow

"Chaste as Ice, Pure as Snow: A Novel" by C. Despard

Charlotte Despard was an Anglo-Irish suffragist, socialist, pacifist, Sinn Féin activist, and novelist. Split into five parts, this book is an early example of feminist literature. It follows its main character as she tries to navigate her way through the world as a woman. With expectations of what being a woman entailed booming loud in one's ear, this book is still relevant to many readers to this day.
