<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>When a group of New England women move to the western frontier, they encounter a new set of problems testing their love, friendship and spirits.</strong> In<em>The Crux</em>, Gilman highlights women's need for economic independence and sexual autonomy. The strain of New England life pushes a group of progressive women to move to Colorado. Together, they open a boarding house and create a bustling business that supports both men and women. When one of the ladies fall in love with a male resident, it dramatically changes the group's dynamic. His poor health and questionable standing make their relationship a point of contention. The author uses their scenario to examine self-determination theory, and its connection to other ideologies that may influence a woman's choice.<em>The Crux</em> is a powerful exploration of contemporary feminist ideals. It focuses on the many disparities between genders both personally and professionally. This is an intriguing look at the long-term effects of different social conventions.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>A group of women looking to escape oppression and politics head west to start a new life. <i>The Crux</i>, by <b>Charlotte Perkins Gilman</b>, is a viable entry in the author's socially conscious catalog.
