A Gold Slipper is a short story written by Willa Cather. It tells the story of a young girl named Flavia who is forced to marry a wealthy man she doesn't love in order to save her family from financial ruin. Flavia's husband is obsessed with buying her expensive gifts, including a pair of gold slippers. Despite her initial reluctance to wear them, Flavia becomes enamored with the slippers and wears them everywhere she goes. However, her happiness is short-lived when she realizes that her husband's love for her is only superficial and that he values her more for her material possessions than for who she is as a person. The story explores themes of love, marriage, and the dangers of materialism.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Youth and the Bright Medusa, by Willa Cather.
