LibriVox recording of The Odd Women by George Gissing. Read by Elizabeth Klett.
George Gissing's 1893 novel takes on the 19th century "Woman Question" by looking at themes of feminism, marriage, and love. The novel raises these issues through the lives of several contrasting women: Mary Barfoot, a feminist philanthropist who helps train women for careers; her close friend Rhoda Nunn, who believes marriage is a disastrous choice for women; and Monica Madden, who starts out as one of their protegees but chooses to marry a seemingly kind older man. As Monica experiences the challenges of married life, Rhoda finds herself drawn to Mary's cousin, the charming but apparently profligate Everard. (Summary by Elizabeth Klett)

Subject: Lots to Think About
While the old-fashioned man's attitude towards his wife is extreme, there are still hints of it today in many households of the older generation, and probably some in the younger, too. The book gives one a lot to think about.
Well-developed story, excellent reader. Not a happy story, but worth listening to.
