This fiction piece by Sarah Grand, written from the perspective of a male artist pursuing a New Woman muse, illustrates the influence of the New Woman on men. The story shows the muse exerting immense control over the artist's life, taking it upon herself to give orders to both the artist and his butler until she has a complete inspirational hold over the artist. After she achieves this hold, she disappears from his life entirely, continuing her influence on him in her absence.
