Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852-1930): The Revolt of Mother (1891) & Sherwood Anderson (1876-1941): Winesburg, Ohio (1919)

More about the book

The exploration of Immanuel Kant's call for self-reliance highlights its relevance in both Mary E. Wilkins Freeman's "The Revolt of Mother" and Sherwood Anderson's "Winesburg, Ohio." These literary works illustrate how the failure to articulate one's thoughts leads to a loss of autonomy and self-determination. The paper emphasizes the importance of expressing independent ideas, suggesting that the struggle for self-assertion remains a timeless challenge in literature and life.
