Mary E Wilkins Freeman (1852 \\u2013 1930) was an American author who wrote in a variety of formats, including novels, short stories, and children\\u2019s poetry. She is known for her strong voice in defending the plight of women.\\xa0
Today\\u2019s story was published in her most famous work, A New England Nun and Other Stories (1891) I discovered it in a book published for high school English students in 1920. I just wanted to point out a couple of things about this story. Note that in the beginning, no names are used for the characters \\u2013 their roles are emphasized first, then the names come after a while.\\xa0
Also, in the beginning, when the mother and daughter are discussing father\\u2019s behavior, mother says: \\u201cYou hadn\'t ought to judge father, though. He can\'t help it, \'cause he don\'t look at things jest the way we do.\\u201d Notice how this one line sets up everything that follows.\\xa0\\xa0
And now, The Revolt of Mother, by Mary E Wilkins Freeman.
