Ann Veronica is a New Woman novel by H. G. Wells first published in 1909. Ann Veronica describes the rebellion of Ann Veronica Stanley, 'a young lady of nearly two-and-twenty,' against her middle-class father's stern patriarchal rule. The novel dramatizes the contemporary problem of the New Woman. It is set in Victorian era London and environs, except for an Alpine excursion. Ann Veronica offers vignettes of the Women's suffrage movement in Great Britain and features a chapter inspired by the 1908 attempt of suffragettes to storm Parliament. Ann Veronica was a controversial book when it was published, the Spectator described it as a 'poisonous book ... capable of poisoning the minds of those who read it.' Although it is unlikely to offend modern readers in this way, this novel addresses many feminist issues that are still relevant today. Herbert George 'H. G.' Wells (1866-1946) was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is one person sometimes called 'The Father of Science Fiction', as are Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback. His most notable science fiction works include The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau.
