A Modern Madonna is a novel written by Caroline Abbot Stanley and originally published in 1906. The story centers around a young woman named Mary who finds herself pregnant and alone after her lover abandons her. Mary is forced to navigate the challenges of single motherhood in a society that frowns upon unwed mothers. She struggles to support herself and her child, but refuses to give up on her dreams of independence and happiness. Throughout the novel, Mary is portrayed as a modern-day Madonna, a symbol of maternal love and strength. She is a complex character who defies traditional gender roles and societal expectations. The novel explores themes of love, motherhood, independence, and the struggle for women's rights. A Modern Madonna was considered groundbreaking for its time, as it challenged the prevailing attitudes towards women and sexuality. Today, it is still regarded as an important work of feminist literature and a testament to the strength and resilience of women.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
