First published in 1914, The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman by H.G. Wells is a social and feminist novel exploring the struggles of Ellen, the young wife of a wealthy and controlling businessman, Sir Isaac Harman. Trapped in a stifling marriage, Ellen seeks personal freedom and self-expression in a society dominated by patriarchal values. The story examines themes of sex inequality, marital discord, and the constraints placed on women of the time. As Ellen attempts to assert her independence, she navigates conflicts between her personal desires, societal expectations, and her husband's authority, offering a critique of early 20th-century gender roles and relationships.
