When a group of New England women move to the western frontier, they encounter a new set of problems testing their love, friendship and spirits. In The Crux, Gilman highlights women’s need for economic independence and sexual autonomy. The strain of New England life pushes a group of progressive women to move to Colorado. Together, they open a boarding house and create a bustling business that supports both men and women. When one of the ladies fall in love with a male resident, it dramatically changes the group’s dynamic. His poor health and questionable standing make their relationship a point of contention. The author uses their scenario to examine self-determination theory, and its connection to other ideologies that may influence a woman’s choice. The Crux is a powerful exploration of contemporary feminist ideals. It focuses on the many disparities between genders both personally and professionally. This is an intriguing look at the long-term effects of different social conventions.

За авторот

Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935) was an American short story writer, novelist and feminist known for her strong political and social views. Gilman was raised by a single mother in meager living conditions. She underperformed as a student but was naturally bright and loved to read. Gilman briefly attended the Rhode Island School of Design and supported herself with odd jobs such as tutor. She later moved to California and wrote for various publications including The New England Magazine, which featured her groundbreaking story, “The Yellow Wallpaper,” a semi-autobiographical account of postpartum depression that changed the course of her career.
