About this book

In the early 20th century, societal norms dictated the roles of women, often relegating them to the margins of domestic life. "Mémoires d'une vieille fille" by René Bazin delves into the introspective journey of an unnamed narrator who embraces her identity as a "vieille fille." Through poignant reflections, the novel examines themes of altruism and social conventions, offering a unique perspective on the struggles and aspirations of women during this era. Ideal for students and historians alike, this compelling narrative invites readers to explore the complexities of female autonomy and societal expectations. Bazin’s work challenges the status quo, making it a vital addition to discussions on gender and identity.
