Arthur is a collection of tales and sketches likely written in the mid-19th century. The book seeks to evoke sympathy and understanding for women facing various trials and challenges, highlighting their roles and struggles in society. The opening of the book introduces a character named Jane, who is overwhelmed by her domestic responsibilities and the pressures of managing her household. As she navigates conflicts with her chambermaid and reflects on her circumstances, the narrative delves into her emotional turmoil and feelings of inadequacy. A pivotal moment occurs when Jane hires a washerwoman, Mrs. Partridge, whose own hardships and resilience starkly contrast with Jane's complaints, prompting Jane to reflect on her own attitude towards her struggles. This encounter sets the stage for a broader exploration of women's experiences and the societal expectations placed upon them.
