Maria or the Wrongs of Woman: Annotated Paperback - 2022

From the publisher

THE WRONGS OF WOMAN, like the wrongs of the persecuted piece of humanity, might be considered significant by their oppressors: however, doubtlessly there are a couple, who will try to progress before the improvement of the age, and award that my representations are not the early termination of a distempered extravagant, or the solid depictions of an injured heart.
Recorded as a hard copy this novel, I have preferably tried to depict interests over habits.
In many occasions I might have made the episodes more emotional, would I have forfeited my primary article, the craving of showing the hopelessness and persecution, unconventional to ladies that emerge out of the halfway regulations and customs of society.
In the creation of the story, this view limited my extravagant; and the set of experiences should prefer to be thought of, as of lady, than of a person.The feeling I have epitomized.
In many works of this species, the legend is permitted to be mortal and to become savvy and righteous as well as blissful, by a train of occasions and conditions. The courageous women, running against the norm, are to be conceived impeccable, and to carry on like goddesses of shrewdness, just approach profoundly completed Minerva's from the head of Jove.
As far as concerns me, I can't assume what is happening really upsetting, than for a lady of reasonableness, with a further developing psyche, to be bound to such a man as I have depicted forever; obliged to revoke all the adapting warm gestures, and to try not to develop her taste, in case her view of effortlessness and refinement of opinion, ought to hone to distress the aches of disillusionment. Love, in which the creative mind blends its entrancing, shading, should be encouraged by delicacy. I ought to disdain, or rather call her a standard lady, who could persevere through such a spouse as I have portrayed.
These appear to me (wedding tyranny of heart and direct) to be the particular Wrongs of Woman, since they debase the brain. What are named extraordinary hardships, may all the more effectively dazzle the brain of normal perusers; they have a greater amount of what may fairly be named stage-impact; however it is the outline of better sensations, which, as I would see it, is the value of our best books. This is the very thing that I have in view; and to show the wrongs of various classes of ladies, similarly severe, however, from the distinction of instruction, fundamentally different.
