Mary Hays's first novel, Memoirs of Emma Courtney (1796), transgresses literary and social conventions with its outspoken heroine who pursues the man she loves. A work concerned with issues of female dependence, sexuality, and woman's role in society, it will interest scholars of the eighteenth century and Romantic period, and those in Women's Studies.
