This essay will re-evaluate several women writers of the 1910s as neo-Edwardian writers, by examining a range of fictional and autobiographical texts that are set in the recent past of the Edwardian period. It will focus in particular on three suffragette narratives that were published in the pre-World War One years - Constance Maud, No Surrender (1911), Gertrude Colmore, Suffragette Sally (1911) and Lady Constance Lytton, Prisons and Prisoners: some personal experiences (1914) – that seek to represent, and evaluate, the movement’s activities during the Edwardian decade and which have not yet been the subject of sustained critical comparison. By identifying some distinctive formal and thematic tropes in these texts, I aim to explore their continuing interest to different scholarly communities and to develop a fresh reading of these works’ literary, and wider cultural and social, provenance as neo-Edwardian texts.

女性军团：1910 年代新爱德华选举权叙事和女性作家

这篇文章将通过检查一系列以爱德华时代最近过去为背景的虚构和自传文本，重新评价 1910 年代的几位女性作家作为新爱德华时代的作家。它将特别关注第一次世界大战前出版的三篇女权论叙事——康斯坦斯·莫德，不投降（1911 年），格特鲁德·科尔莫尔，女权论者莎莉（1911 年）和康斯坦斯·利顿夫人，监狱和囚犯：一些个人经历（1914 年）——试图代表和评估爱德华七世时期运动的活动，但尚未成为持续批判性比较的主题。通过在这些文本中确定一些独特的形式和主题比喻，我的目标是探索他们对不同学术界的持续兴趣，并开发对这些作品文学的新阅读，
