Praxis

Praxis Duveen, shaped by a turbulent upbringing with a mad mother and a half-mad sister, navigates the complexities of life with resilience and wit. Throughout her journey—which includes two failed marriages, a stint as a prostitute, and an unexpected role in the women’s movement—she battles her own desires and societal expectations. Fay Weldon crafts a sharp and humorous exploration of women's aspirations and the often stark reality they face.
