Book Overview
A Christian Woman is a novel written by Emilia Pardo Bazan in 1891. The book tells the story of a woman named Carmen who struggles to reconcile her faith with her desire for independence and autonomy. As a devout Christian, Carmen believes that she should submit to the will of God and her husband, but she also yearns for a life of her own. When her husband becomes ill and unable to provide for their family, Carmen takes matters into her own hands and starts a business to support herself and her children. This decision puts her at odds with her community and her faith, and she must navigate the challenges of being a woman in a patriarchal society. Through Carmen's story, Pardo Bazan explores themes of gender, religion, and social class, and challenges the traditional roles and expectations placed upon women in 19th century Spain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
