The Double Standard is a novel written by Henry Hucks Gibbs and published in 1881. The book is set in Victorian England and explores the theme of double standards in society. The story follows the life of a young woman named Edith who is forced into a loveless marriage with a wealthy man by her father. Despite her husband's infidelity, Edith is expected to remain faithful and obedient, while her husband is free to pursue his desires without consequence. As the novel progresses, Edith begins to question the unfairness of this double standard and seeks to assert her own independence. Along the way, she encounters various characters who represent different aspects of society and their attitudes towards gender roles. The Double Standard is a thought-provoking read that challenges traditional Victorian values and highlights the need for equality and justice in all relationships.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
