About this book
A young woman chafing against a comfortable but stifling marriage leaves her husband to discover whether she can make her own way and find genuine fulfillment on her own terms. Webster explores a woman's search for identity, work, and self-respect with sympathy and insight unusual for its day. Blending domestic drama with the era's debates about marriage and women's independence, the novel offers an absorbing character study. Thoughtful and engaging, The Real Adventure reflects the changing expectations of women in the early twentieth century and the quiet courage of a woman claiming her own life.
