Publisher's Synopsis

The Old Maids' Club is a novel written by Israel Zangwill in 1892. The book tells the story of a group of unmarried women who form a club to support each other and combat the stigma of being ""old maids"" in Victorian society. The main character, Miss Priscilla Sampson, is the founder of the club and is determined to prove that unmarried women can lead fulfilling lives. The novel explores themes of female friendship, independence, and the limitations imposed on women in the late 19th century. The Old Maids' Club is a humorous and heartwarming tale that offers a glimpse into the lives of unmarried women during a time when marriage was considered the only acceptable path for women.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
