More about the book
The narrative explores the limited roles available to women through the perspective of Ruth Douglass, who imparts a stark lesson to her daughter about societal expectations. Ruth emphasizes that a woman's identity is confined to three options: virgin, wife, or widow, highlighting the restrictive nature of gender roles. This sets the stage for a deeper examination of women's struggles and the quest for autonomy in a world that imposes rigid definitions on their lives.
