description: "The Pregnant Widow is a novel by the English writer Martin Amis, published by Jonathan Cape on 4 February 2010. Its theme is the feminist revolution, which Amis sees as incomplete and bewildering for women, echoing the view of the 19th-century Russian writer, Alexander Herzen, that revolution is \"a long night of chaos and desolation\". The \"pregnant widow\", a phrase taken from Herzen's From the other shore (1848–1850), is the point at which the old order has given way, the new one not yet born. Amis said in 2007 that \"consciousness is not revolutionised by the snap of a finger. And feminism, I reckon, is about halfway through its second trimester.\""
