A Woman's Reason is a novel written by William Dean Howells and published in 1883. The story follows the life of a young woman named Marcia Gaylord who is torn between her desire for love and her sense of duty to her family. Marcia is engaged to a wealthy young man named Bartley Hubbard, but she begins to have doubts about their relationship when she meets a charismatic journalist named David Sewell. As Marcia struggles to navigate her feelings for both men, she is forced to confront the societal expectations placed upon her as a woman in the late 19th century. The novel explores themes of love, duty, and the limitations placed on women in a patriarchal society. Through Marcia's journey, Howells offers a critique of the societal norms of his time and advocates for greater freedom and agency for women.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
