The Crux, Hardback Book

The Crux Hardback

Part of the Mint Editions series

Hardback

Description

When a group of New England women move to the western frontier, they encounter a new set of problems testing their love, friendship and spirits.

In The Crux, Gilman highlights women’s need for economic independence and sexual autonomy.

The strain of New England life pushes a group of progressive women to move to Colorado.

Together, they open a boarding house and create a bustling business that supports both men and women.

When one of the ladies fall in love with a male resident, it dramatically changes the group’s dynamic.

His poor health and questionable standing make their relationship a point of contention.

The author uses their scenario to examine self-determination theory, and its connection to other ideologies that may influence a woman’s choice.

The Crux is a powerful exploration of contemporary feminist ideals.

It focuses on the many disparities between genders both personally and professionally.

This is an intriguing look at the long-term effects of different social conventions.
