The Strain of White is a novel written by Ada Woodruff Anderson and published in 1909. The story follows the life of a young woman named Mary Ware, who is born into a wealthy family in the American South. Mary grows up with all the privileges and luxuries that come with her social status, but she is also acutely aware of the racial tensions that exist in her community. As she grows older, Mary becomes increasingly interested in the lives of the black people who work for her family, and she begins to question the morality of the system that allows for such inequality.The novel explores themes of race, class, and gender, and it offers a nuanced portrayal of the complex relationships that exist between white and black people in the early 20th century. Through Mary's journey of self-discovery, the book challenges readers to confront their own biases and assumptions about race and privilege.Overall, The Strain of White is a thought-provoking and timely work of fiction that offers a powerful critique of the social and political structures that perpetuate inequality and injustice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
