Publisher's Synopsis
A Christian Woman is a novel written by Emilia Pardo Bazan in 1891. The story revolves around a young woman named Camila, who is raised in a devoutly religious family in rural Spain. As she grows up, Camila becomes increasingly disillusioned with the strict and oppressive nature of her faith, and begins to question the teachings of the Church.Despite her doubts, Camila remains committed to her Christian beliefs, and strives to find a way to reconcile her faith with her desire for freedom and independence. Along the way, she encounters a number of other women who are also struggling to find their place in a society that values tradition and conformity above all else.Throughout the novel, Pardo Bazan explores themes of gender roles, religious hypocrisy, and the tension between tradition and progress. A Christian Woman is a powerful and thought-provoking work that challenges readers to question their own beliefs and values, and to consider the ways in which these beliefs shape their lives and the world around them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
