| Summary | "Women" by Booth Tarkington is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the lives and dynamics of women in a suburban setting, with a focus on the intricacies of their relationships, particularly as wives and mothers. The opening chapters introduce us to a group of women engaged in conversation, centering around the perceptions and roles women hold in their lives, their husbands, and the societal expectations that shape them. At the start of the novel, Mrs. Dodge leads a discussion at the Woman’s Saturday Club, questioning the necessity of central themes in literature that focus on women's lives. She argues that women's experiences are often filled with fragmented episodes rather than grand narratives. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of interpersonal dynamics, as the story unfolds through the lenses of Mrs. Dodge, Mrs. Cromwell, and Mrs. Battle, as they navigate their relationships with their husbands, the expectations of society, and their own identities. The narrative intricately depicts their thoughts and actions concerning marriage, fidelity, and societal pressures, suggesting a critique of how women's identities are often intertwined with the men in their lives.
