Publisher's Synopsis
The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall is a groundbreaking novel that explores the life of Stephen Gordon, an upper-class English woman who identifies as a lesbian and struggles with societal rejection, isolation, and the longing for acceptance and love.
The novel follows Stephen from childhood through adulthood as she navigates love, war, and identity in a world that condemns her for who she is. Bold for its time, the book advocates for understanding and dignity for LGBTQ+ individuals and remains a landmark in queer literature.
