Book Overview

""Chains: A Play In Four Acts"" is a dramatic play written by Elizabeth Baker and first published in 1911. The play follows the story of a young woman named Ruth who is trapped in a loveless marriage to a wealthy man named John. Ruth yearns for freedom and a chance to pursue her own dreams, but is held back by societal expectations and the restrictions placed upon her as a woman in the early 20th century. As the play unfolds, Ruth's struggle for independence becomes increasingly fraught with tension and conflict, as she must navigate the expectations of her family, her husband, and society at large. Through its powerful portrayal of the limitations and injustices faced by women in the early 20th century, ""Chains"" remains a powerful and thought-provoking work of drama that continues to resonate with audiences today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
