This interdisciplinary, one-day conference marks the 100th anniversary
of the publication of H.G. Wells’s ‘feminist’ novel, Ann Veronica. In
this unique conference, we will be exploring the lives and work of

the Edwardian era.
We welcome hearty debate and papers on the following or related topics:
Ann Veronica, the story of its publication, contents and influence
How ‘feminist’ a novel is Ann Veronica?
Wells’s fiction and his portrayal of concerns and interests relating
to women, for instance, education, suffrage, sexual freedom and the
role of women in his utopian works
The work and achievements of the women writers who worked alongside
Wells during his lifetime
Wells’s relationship with women
