| Summary | "The Man: A Story of To-day" by Elbert Hubbard is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores themes related to gender relations, societal norms, and the individual’s quest for meaning and purpose. The story is centered around Aspasia Hobbs, a woman who reflects on her life experiences, personal struggles, and the circumstances surrounding her upbringing. The opening portion of the novel introduces Aspasia, detailing her background and current situation. Abandoned as a baby, she was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Hobbs, who had no children of their own. As she grows older, Aspasia grapples with her identity, societal expectations, and the failings of her family. The letters interspersed throughout her narrative reveal her relationships with friends and former colleagues, portraying the challenges she faces in a society that limits women’s roles. The protagonist’s poignant observations reveal a desire for freedom and understanding, setting the stage for her journey of self-discovery. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
