About this book

In the early 20th century, societal norms dictated the lives of women, often confining them to roles defined by family and tradition. "A Flor Secca: Romance" by Manuel Pinheiro Chagas intricately explores this landscape through the eyes of Margarida, a young woman caught between her desires and the expectations of an arranged marriage with Claudio da Cunha. As she navigates the complexities of love and obligation, the novel delves into themes of autonomy and societal pressure, inviting readers to reflect on the unyielding constraints of her world. Ideal for students and historians alike, this poignant narrative sheds light on the personal struggles against societal conventions, making it a compelling read for those interested in the evolution of gender roles in literature.
