The Double Standard is a novel written by Henry Hucks Gibbs and originally published in 1881. The story is set in the late 19th century and revolves around the life of a young woman named Elinor Leyton. Elinor is a beautiful and intelligent woman who is determined to make a life for herself despite the limitations placed on women during this time period.As the story progresses, Elinor finds herself caught up in a love triangle between two men - the wealthy and powerful Lord Hawleigh and the charming but less affluent Mr. Vane. Elinor must navigate the double standard that exists in society, where men are allowed to have multiple romantic partners while women are expected to remain chaste and pure.Throughout the novel, Gibbs explores themes of gender inequality, social class, and the struggle for personal freedom and independence. The Double Standard is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by women during the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
