The Convert, Elizabeth Robins, 1907, England (United States), NOVEL
"...Part witty and scathing commentary on the upper classes, part political rhetoric quoted directly from open-air meetings, and part muckraking realism, The Convert moves back and forth between the personal and the political until the two can no longer be distinguished...Forthright and direct, Elizabeth Robins discusses issues that must have been shocking in 1907: unwed motherhood, the effects of the inequality of women, and the essential disrespect that underlies chivalry..."
