The Dangerous Age

"At forty-two, approaching that 'dangerous age' and determined to eliminate the hypocrisy in her life, Elsie divorces her husband, leaves behind a young potential lover, and retreats to an isolated villa on an island. . . First published in 1910, [this] is still a shockingly forthright and provocative book." -Erica Bauermeister, 500 Great Books by Women
