Meet Stephen Gordon
The protagonist of The Well of Loneliness is Stephen Gordon, a young woman who defies societal expectations. Named by a father who desperately wanted a son, Stephen embraces a lifestyle that is unconventional and daring. She hunts, she fences, she reads books, and she even wears trousers. However, it is her longing to cut her hair that sets her apart from other girls.
Stephen grows up in the stifling grandeur of Morton Hall. As she matures, the locals begin to distance themselves from her, sensing that there is something different about her. It is this indefinable quality that sets the stage for the rest of the story.
