Book Description:
First published in 1912, this novel draws its inspiration directly from Austin’s own life and experiences as a talented woman — in the novel, an actress — whose pursuit of a career places her in conflict with the values of a midwestern town. The hero’s decision to leave a dull husband to pursue a career, and her rise to fame, are portrayed against the background of the cramping social order of the time. A precursor of Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street and a counterpoint to Theodore Dreiser’s Sister Carrie, the novel deals poignantly and honestly with the costs of a woman’s ambitions.
