Description
Emancipation is a novel written by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, first published in 1913. The book tells the story of a young woman named Deborah who is forced to marry a man she does not love. Deborah's husband, Cyrus, is a strict and controlling man who expects her to be subservient to him at all times. Despite her efforts to please him, Deborah finds herself increasingly unhappy in her marriage.As the story progresses, Deborah begins to question the traditional gender roles that have been imposed upon her. She longs for independence and freedom, and eventually decides to leave Cyrus and strike out on her own. This decision is met with resistance from her family and society at large, who view her actions as scandalous and immoral.Throughout the novel, Freeman explores themes of gender, power, and identity. She challenges the traditional roles of women in society and highlights the struggles that women faced in the early 20th century. Emancipation is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that continues to resonate with readers today.Esther was firm after a curious fashion. She never ordered, but her attitude was in itself equivalent to a whole broadside of orders. She never raised her voice, she often did not express a wish, but her silence held the force of ultimate command. Her aged father, retaining, as he still did in very high measure, the fire of youth, was no match for her. His rebellious desires, his impatience for his own way, were blunted before her as before a porcelain wall of purest, impenetrable femininity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
