Lady Good-for-Nothing: A Man’s Portrait of a Woman by Arthur Quiller-Couch is a satirical novel in British literature that offers a scathing critique of Victorian society’s gender roles and attitudes towards women’s rights. Through biting irony and keen social commentary, Quiller-Couch exposes the pervasive misogyny of the era while delving into the complexities of romanticism and morality. Set against the backdrop of Victorian society, the novel explores the character portrayal of the titular Lady Good-for-Nothing, presenting her as a caricature of societal expectations and gender norms. Through her experiences and interactions, Quiller-Couch sheds light on the hypocrisy and double standards that permeate Victorian culture. With its sharp wit and incisive commentary, ’Lady Good-for-Nothing’ serves as both a critique of Victorian morality and a reflection of the societal caricature of women during the era. Quiller-Couch’s exploration of gender roles and societal expectations remains relevant today, making this novel a compelling piece of social satire that continues to resonate with readers.'
