The baronet's seemingly whimsical declaration provides a useful, flexible trope that can help to explain the nuances of Robinson's feminist thinking as it unfolds over the course of the novel. For, as I will demonstrate, Martha Morley of The Natural Daughter can be described as both "belonging to nobody" (because she has escaped the possessive grasp of a husband who conceives of women as the property of men) and as "belonging to nobody" (because she has refused the confines of an identity defined primarily by the body). Robinson presents a woman who doubly belongs to no/body as a legitimate, sustainable alternative to the suffocating scripts of illegitimacy and the fallen woman.
