The Story of Avis

Autor Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iun 2010
This vintage book is Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward's 1877 novel, "The Story of Avis". It is the story of a woman who is forced to sacrifice her artistic ambitions for the sake of marriage and children. Her husband is ultimately not financially stable enough, and they end up facing serious difficulties. A thought-provoking exploration of masculinity and femininity, "The Story of Avis" will appeal to lovers of nineteenth century gender fiction, and is not to be missed by fans of Ward's wonderful work. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward (1844-1911) was an author and pioneering feminist, famous for challenging traditional gender roles. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Avis is a nineteenth-century painter who strives to keep herself free of marriage and entanglements. Although Avis declares and her fiance agrees that she must not "resign my profession as an artist," the reality greets her with their first house. Through her life, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps describes the struggle of a woman to be wife, mother, and artist. How modern is the "modern man" and how much do women's roles ever change? This book, written more than one hundred years ago, will still seem very real to many women today.
