Summary "Regiment of Women" by Clemence Dane is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in a school setting, primarily focusing on the dynamics among the teaching staff. Through the introduction of characters like Clare Hartill and the newcomers, specifically Alwynne Durand and Henrietta Vigers, it explores themes of authority, rivalry, and the evolution of relationships within the confines of the education system. At the start of the story, the reader is immersed in the chaos and challenges of school life as the secretary, Henrietta Vigers, searches for a missing class and encounters Clare Hartill. Their interaction hints at underlying tensions in the faculty, especially regarding the new teacher, Miss Durand, who is evidently capturing the attention of both students and colleagues. As the narrative progresses, the contrasting personalities of Clare, who is confident and somewhat lazy, and Henrietta, precise and uptight, establish a balance of power that sets the stage for conflict. The opening chapters effectively lay the groundwork for a deeper exploration of the relationships, ambitions, and personal struggles of the women involved, inviting readers to navigate the complexities of their intertwined lives.
