The Revolt of 'Mother'

The Revolt of 'Mother' Summary | Introduction Summary

Direct Quote: "The Revolt of Mother, Freeman's best-known story, is unusual among her fiction in that the female protagonist defies social convention (but not her own concept of what is morally right) to meet her own deep-felt need. However, it is also typical of Freeman's work, which often provides closely observed portraits of a woman's experiences and emotions in relation to her husband and her children."
