| Summary |
"En qvinna af vår tid: Karaktersteckning" by Marie Linder is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book centers around a complex female protagonist, Lady S., as she navigates societal expectations and personal aspirations during her journey from America to England. Through her interactions with those around her, including her companion Mary and the curious Miss Brown, the narrative explores themes of independence, faith, and the diverse roles of women in society. The opening of the novel captures a critical moment on an ocean voyage, where passengers experience fear during a crisis while revealing their characters through conversation. Miss Brown expresses astonishment at Lady S.'s bravery, setting the stage for discussions about the nature of womanhood and individual courage. Mary, defending Lady S., indicates her loyalty to their cause and suggests that their journey is about autonomy—particularly in the context of a woman traveling alone. Through these exchanges, readers gain glimpses of Lady S.'s calm strength and complexity, hinting at her struggles against societal constraints as she yearns for freedom.
