Pointed Roofs was written by Dorothy Miller Richardson and published in 1915. Dorothy was the first writeer to publish an English-language novel using, what is now known as, the stream-of-consciousness technique. The novel displayed Dorothy's admiration for German culture although it was in a war with Britain which could be the cause as to way the book is less recognized. Dorothy was one of the few women who wrote fiction from the beginning of the experimentalist, modernist period.The main character of the novel is based off of Dorothy's life between 1891 and 1915 where she has her first adventure as an adult. This novel is also extremely important because Dorothy is the first woman to write about a women's life which was centered on being a woman instead of being a wife or daughter or another role subordinate to a man.
