About this book
In the early 20th century, societal norms dictated rigid roles within families and communities, particularly for women. In "Her Husband's Purse" by Helen Reimensnyder Martin, readers explore these dynamics through the life of Daniel Leitzel, a wealthy businessman navigating the expectations placed upon him and his wife. The novel intricately examines themes of financial independence and personal identity, as symbolized by the titular purse, which represents both power and constraint. Ideal for students and civic activists, this thought-provoking narrative challenges readers to reflect on the evolving roles of gender and wealth in society. Dive into a world where every choice is laden with consequence, and discover the complexities of love and obligation.
