Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"This Freedom" by A. S. M. Hutchinson is a novel that appears to be set in the late 19th century. The story introduces readers to Rosalie, a young girl who perceives the world as one dominated by men, particularly her father and brothers, and contrasts this with her mother's more mundane existence. Rosalie's fascination with the extraordinary male figures in her life highlights themes of gender roles and societal expectations. The opening of the book establishes Rosalie’s perspective as she navigates her childhood within a household where males are seen as the powerful and adventurous beings, while females are relegated to the background. Through her observations, we see her wonder about her father’s antics and the way her brothers are doted upon by the women in her life, illustrating a familial dynamic steeped in traditional gender norms. The interactions within the Aubyn family reveal not only Rosalie's awe of the male presence but also her budding awareness of the constraints placed upon women, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of freedom and identity as the narrative unfolds.
