A Hard Woman: A Story In Scenes is a novel written by Violet Hunt and published in 1895. The book tells the story of a woman named Clara, who is described as being ""hard"" due to her cold and unyielding demeanor. The novel is divided into several scenes that depict Clara's life and relationships with those around her.Throughout the book, Clara is shown to be a complex character, struggling with the expectations placed upon her as a woman in Victorian society. She is portrayed as being intelligent and independent, but also distant and emotionally detached. The novel explores the reasons behind Clara's behavior, including her upbringing and past experiences.The story also features several other characters, including Clara's husband, her lover, and her friends. These characters provide insight into Clara's personality and motivations, as well as the societal pressures that influenced her behavior.Overall, A Hard Woman: A Story In Scenes is a thought-provoking exploration of gender roles and societal expectations in the late 19th century. It is a character-driven novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships, and offers a nuanced portrayal of a woman who defies traditional gender norms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
