About this listen

 "Success for a woman means absolute surrender, in whatever direction. Whether she paints a picture, or loves a man, there is no division of labor possible in her economy. To the attainment of any end worth living for, a symmetrical sacrifice of her nature is compulsory upon her."

That is the dilemma this powerful and beautifully observed work centers around. Our heroine, Avis, a professor's daughter and a very talented painter, has to come to terms with marriage meaning potential sacrifice of her artistic career and future.©2017 Audioliterature (P)2017 Audioliterature Biographical Fiction Fiction Genre Fiction Literary Fiction United States World Literature
