Regiment of Women (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Lesbian ClassicBy Clemence Dane
Length15h 4m
About this audiobook
Clemence Dane's Regiment of Women is a penetrating school novel and psychological study of power, desire, and institutional discipline. Set within the closed world of a girls' school, it examines the charismatic dominance of Clare Hartill and the emotional economies that form around her authority. Written in a taut, observant prose that combines Edwardian realism with early modernist interest in motive and repression, the novel belongs to the broader wartime and post-suffrage revaluation of women's lives, while also unsettling sentimental conventions of female community. Clemence Dane was the pseudonym of Winifred Ashton, an English novelist, dramatist, and screenwriter whose career repeatedly explored performance, identity, and social constraint. Her experience as a teacher and her close knowledge of theatrical structure inform the novel's sharply staged confrontations and its claustrophobic sense of audience, role, and control. Published in 1917, her debut reflects a generation confronting changing gender expectations and the costs of emotional repression. This book is recommended to readers interested in women's writing, queer literary history, school fiction, and psychologically acute social novels. Regiment of Women remains striking for its unsparing intelligence and its refusal to idealize female authority.
