Summary "The New Woman: An Original Comedy, in Four Acts" by Sydney Grundy is a theatrical play written in the late 19th century. It delves into the social changes and evolving gender roles of the time, particularly through the characters and conversations that reflect contemporary debates about women's rights and identity. The story primarily revolves around Gerald Cazenove and his interactions with various figures in his life, highlighting his relationships with women who embody the ideals and struggles of the New Woman archetype. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Gerald Cazenove and his uncle, Colonel Cazenove, who discuss Gerald’s recent experiences and the influence of women in his life, particularly in the context of education and social expectations. Their dialogue sets the stage for exploring themes of love, societal pressures, and the notion of masculinity, as Gerald reveals that he is in love with a woman named Margery who, while socially beneath him, challenges his previous notions of love and companionship. As guests enter, representing a variety of perspectives on the evolving nature of relationships and feminism, the opening portion establishes a comedic yet critical tone that centers on the complexities of marriage and identity during a time of significant social change.
