This theatrical work captures the essence of the late 19th century, where characters grapple with the concept of independence and the implications of modern femininity. With clever dialogue and engaging scenarios, Grundy challenges traditional expectations, making poignant observations about marriage and autonomy. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this play serves as both entertainment and a critical reflection on the quest for equality.
