However the reader has to keep in mind that the issues faced by the woman in the novella were only encountered by rich or upper middle class white women.

    <body><![CDATA[This is a profound glimpse at the heart of a woman trapped by gender and time. Like looking at a piece of amber with inclusions: makes you wonder what it was like to for a tiny insect to find herself stuck in sticky resin forever.  A must read from both literary and women's studies aspects.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of those books that I appreciated without enjoying very much. It is clearly important from a lit-historical perspective, and interesting sociologically, but it's sooooo dated. Maybe that's not a fair criticism, but I remember that as my overwhelming reaction.]]></body>
