About this audiobook
Martha is a woman of strong opinions and even stronger willpower, navigating the domestic and social challenges of her era with unflinching resolve. Through her eyes, we see a world of rigid expectations and the subtle ways a clever woman can reclaim her agency. The narrative is rich with character detail and a quiet, subversive humor that challenges the status-coated norms of the time. This is a sophisticated character study that celebrates the intellect and resilience of a woman who refuses to be overlooked.
