Backwater is a novel written by Dorothy M. Richardson and published in 1916. The story follows the life of a young woman named Miriam Henderson, who moves from London to a small town called Backwater to live with her parents. Miriam struggles to find her place in this new environment and feels alienated from the people around her. She spends her days wandering the countryside and reflecting on her thoughts and feelings. As she begins to explore her own identity, she becomes more aware of the limitations placed on women in society and begins to question her own role in the world. Through Miriam's journey, Richardson offers a powerful critique of the social norms and expectations of early 20th-century England.
