At the end of the 19th century, it would have been even tougher than it was for Nora Porteous.
I'm very sorry I missed your comment Bookworm Girl.

I was reminded very much of A Doll's House as I read the book. Like Bookpossum, I don't know if Anderson actually had Ibsen in mind but she was certainly thinking on parallel lines.
