How to Be a Woman (1915 Edition)

K. by Mary Roberts Rinehart

January 20, 2021 by Another Kate 2 Comments

Mary Roberts Rinehart is best-known today for her influential mystery novels, but K. is basically General Hospital set in 1915, only quieter and more gentle—at least on the surface. What appears to be a rather slow-moving tale of romance and mild intrigue in a small-town hospital is actually a fascinating and even nuanced exploration of what it meant to be an unmarried woman in 1915. As fiction…well, you really need to be in the mood. But as a sociological document, it’s absolutely fascinating. Read all about it here.

About Another Kate

CBR13 participantCBR 6

I liked the LOST finale and thought THE DARK KNIGHT was just okay. That probably tells you all you need to know about me and my eccentric tastes. Reader, writer, dog and cat lover, old house aficionado, proudly Gen X. My goal in life is to discover a century-old diary filled with romance, tragedy, and mystery. View Another Kate's reviews»

    A quiet and gentle soap opera is what a long for on some quiet nights (paired with a bold red to balance the subdued read, of course). I’ll add it to my list – thanks for the review 🙂
