About this book
In the early 20th century, societal norms began to clash with emerging ideas about gender and identity. "Tension" by E. M. Delafield explores this cultural friction through the lens of characters like Aunt Iris, who challenges conventions with her provocative book, "Why, Ben! A Story of the Sexes." As young Ruthie navigates her aunt's controversial views, the narrative delves into themes of societal expectations and personal freedom. This novel captures the essence of a transformative era, making it essential reading for students and civic activists interested in gender studies and historical discourse. With its sharp wit and keen observations, "Tension" invites readers to reflect on the complexities of human relationships and the evolving definitions of self.
