Meer over het boek

Exploring the complex dynamics of marriage in the late 1800s, the narrative introduces the Mandeville sisters—Lucy, Adeline, and Alethea—who grapple with traditional gender stereotypes and oppressive societal norms. Adeline's struggles highlight the unequal power dynamics within their unions, revealing the restrictive roles imposed on women. Mona Caird, a notable feminist writer, critiques these societal expectations, advocating for greater autonomy and individuality among women, making this work a poignant examination of patriarchy and its impact on women's lives.
