Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century societal norms, this comedic novel follows Lillie Dulcimer, a sharp-witted young woman who defies her father's matchmaking efforts by founding a club that redefines the term "Old Maid." Through clever dialogue and engaging characters, Zangwill explores themes of independence and self-identity, inviting readers to reconsider societal expectations. Ideal for students and civic activists alike, this work not only entertains but also sparks vital conversations about women's autonomy and societal roles. Discover how humor can illuminate serious issues in this timeless classic.
