Synopsis

This book examines the dynamic between women's roles and expectations in society in the early 20th century, especially and specifically how class distinctions impacted the way women of that era navigated shifting social and cultural conventions on a daily basis. The author further examines how women's roles and their power were perceived by men at that time. Relevant themes include women's expectations, limitations and power, and authority within their families and communities. The author ultimately suggests that while women, in general, were not accorded the same access to agency over their own lives as men enjoyed, they found power in subverting or bending society's rules while also acknowledging the risks inherent in doing so.
