Fay Weldon wrote novels, short stories and essays about marriage, sex, domestic labour, ambition and the bargains women make within unequal relationships. The Life and Loves of a She-Devil follows Ruth Patchett after her husband leaves her for a glamorous novelist, turning revenge into a darkly comic programme of self-reinvention. Praxis traces a woman's life through shifting roles and social expectations, while The Bulgari Connection satirises wealth, adultery and consumer culture. Weldon's fiction is sharp, brisk and often deliberately unsympathetic, using exaggeration and black comedy rather than sentimental domestic realism. Her work fits feminist fiction, social satire, women's fiction and dark comedy. Read more Less
