HOLTBY, Winifred

HOLTBY, Winifred
(1898-1935)
   UK writer who espoused, in South Riding (1936) and other novels and essays, the informed, complex FEMINISM which was also reflected in her near-future SATIRE, The Astonishing Island (1933): the island satirized is not Tristan da Cunha, from which the bewildered protagonist hails, but the UK.
