From the book jacket:
Praxis is Fay Weldon's best, most ambitious, most delightful novel. And Praxis Duveen is truly a modern heroine, buffeted and battered by life, by women and men, by herself - wry, funny, pretty, innocent, knowing - yet surviving. Her story begins in the 1920's in the seaside town of Brighton. When we leave her in the 1970's, in London, she has become - despite herself? - a world-famous women's leader. Praxis, Ms. Weldon tells us, is a Victorian woman's name. It also means turning point and orgasm. Bio from the book jacket: Fay Weldon is the author of: And the Wife Ran Away, Down Among the Women, Female Friends, Remember me and Words of Advice. | |
