The Doomswoman is a novel written by Gertrude Atherton and published in 1893. It is a story set in the American West during the 19th century, and it follows the life of a woman named Paula, who is described as a doomswoman due to her ability to bring bad luck to those around her. She is a beautiful and seductive woman who uses her charm to manipulate men and get what she wants.The story begins with Paula's arrival in a small town in California, where she meets and falls in love with a man named Felipe. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Felipe is already engaged to another woman, and Paula's reputation as a doomswoman makes her an outcast in the community. Despite these obstacles, Paula and Felipe continue their affair, leading to a series of tragic events that ultimately lead to Paula's downfall.The Doomswoman is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions. It explores themes of fate, morality, and the power of desire, and it is considered one of Atherton's most notable works. The novel is written in a vivid and descriptive style, capturing the rugged beauty of the American West and the complex emotions of its characters. It is a classic piece of American literature that continues to captivate readers to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
