Summary: "The Woman Who Vowed (The Demetrian)" by Ellison Harding is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a futuristic setting where the protagonist, Henry T. Joyce, finds himself awakening in a world governed by a cult dedicated to the goddess Demeter, which emphasizes collective principles and sacrifices. Central to the narrative are the characters Lydia and Chairo, who are entangled in this cult’s mystique and its societal constructs revolving around love, sacrifice, and duty. The opening of the book introduces Henry as he regains consciousness in a surreal, ancient Greek-inspired landscape, confused yet captivated by the beauty of Lydia, a member of the Demetrian Cult. As he interacts with her and her brother Cleon, he learns about their way of life, which is defined by communal living and the cultural significance of their relationship with Demeter. The story hints at a deeper conflict surrounding Lydia's potential selection as a Demetrian, positioning her between her duty to the cult and her feelings for Chairo, indicating a rich exploration of personal choice against the backdrop of societal expectations.
