• Summary : Though Virginia Pendleton is the heroine of Ellen Glasgow's Virginia, she is pushed on to a peripheral space in the structure of the society the work depicts. This paper attempts to centralize Virginia Pendleton, against the fact of her decentralized social place, and to read into her marginality. Since the novel is set at the turn of the century when American society, especially the South, went through drastic changes, social backgrounds of the novel are divided, for the convenience's sake, into three categories: the traditional South, the Northern materialism that was speedily invading into the South after the Civil War, and the emerging feminism. The place Virginia takes in each and her relation to it is closely analyzed to reveal that her decentralization is the very issue Glasgow intended to deal with, and that she also tried to construct a hopeful image of the merging of the disconnected generations of women that had been an inevitable outcome of the early feminism.　Keywords : Ellen Glasgow, Virginia
