The Eternal Feminine

The Eternal Feminine is a novel written by Israel Zangwill, published in 1913. The story revolves around a young woman named Rachel who is orphaned at a young age and raised by her uncle, a strict and traditional rabbi. Despite her uncle's wishes for her to marry and start a family, Rachel yearns for independence and education. She eventually moves to London and becomes involved in the suffragette movement, fighting for women's rights and equality. Along the way, she falls in love with a fellow activist, but their relationship is complicated by their differing beliefs and social backgrounds. The novel explores themes of gender roles, tradition, and the struggle for personal freedom in a rapidly changing society. Zangwill's writing style is marked by his wit and humor, as well as his keen observations of human behavior and social dynamics.
