Fettered For Life: Or Lord And Master is a novel written by Lillie Devereux Blake and originally published in 1874. The story follows the life of a young woman named Margaret who is forced into a loveless marriage with a man she does not love. Margaret's husband, George, is a controlling and abusive man who treats her like a possession rather than a human being. Despite her unhappiness, Margaret is unable to leave George due to societal norms and expectations of the time.Throughout the novel, Margaret struggles to find her own identity and assert her independence in a world that is not kind to women who do so. She befriends a group of women who are fighting for women's rights and becomes involved in the suffrage movement. Margaret's involvement in the movement leads to conflict with her husband and puts her in danger.Fettered For Life: Or Lord And Master is a powerful commentary on the oppression of women in the 19th century and the need for women's rights. The novel is a reminder of the struggles that women have faced throughout history and the importance of continuing to fight for gender equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
