Sinopsis
Excerpt from Susan Lenox, Vol. 2: Her Fall and Rise; With a Portrait of the Author
Susan's impulse was toward the stage. It had become a definite ambition with her, the stronger because Spenser's jealousy and suspicion had forced her to keep it a secret, to pretend to herself that she had no thought but going on indefinitely as his obedient and devoted mistress. The hardiest and best growths are the growths inward - where they have sun and air from without. She had been at the theater several times every week, and had studied the performances at a point of view very different from that of the audience. It was there to be amused; she was there to learn. Spenser and such of his friends as he would let meet her talked plays and acting most of the time. He had forbidden her to have women friends. "Men don't demoralize women; women demoralize each other," was one of his axioms. But such women as she had a bowing acquaintance with were all on the stage - in comic operas or musical farces. She was much alone; that meant many hours every day which could not but be spent by a mind like hers in reading and in thinking. Only those who have observed the difference aloneness makes in mental development, where there is a good mind, can appreciate how rapidly, how broadly, Susan expanded.

Excerpt from Susan Lenox, Vol. 2: Her Fall and Rise; With a Portrait of the Author
And under the pretense of taking her measurements, he fumbled and felt, pinched and stroked every part of her person, laughing and chuckling the while. My, but you are sweet! And so firm! What flesh! Solid solid! Mighty healthy! You are a good girl - eh?

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, an in-depth exploration of Susan Lenox's life and loves, provides a nuanced representation of women's struggles around the turn of the 20th century. It delves into the harsh realities that working-class women faced in their search for employment and financial independence. The author presents readers with an unflinching portrayal of the protagonist's trajectory from a respectable young woman to a woman who is forced to grapple with the demands of men in positions of power as she struggles to survive in a society that offers her few choices. Through Susan's journey, the book raises compelling questions about societal expectations, female agency, and the search for fulfillment in a world that often undervalues women and their aspirations.
