Haskell (William Haskell) Sylvia Arden Decides Produced by Al Haines "Sylvia Arden Decides" by Margaret Rebecca Piper is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the protagonist, Sylvia Arden, a young woman at a crossroads in her life, grappling with her future choices and identity in a society that has specific expectations of women. As her friends and acquaintances trend towards established paths—like marriage or careers—Sylvia feels both the pull of those societal norms and a deep-seated desire to carve her own unique path. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Sylvia and her friends, Suzanne and Barbara, gathered at the serene Arden Hall. They engage in playful banter that quickly reveals Sylvia’s contemplative nature and her struggle with contentment. Unlike her friends who have clear ambitions, Sylvia feels a sense of uncertainty about her direction in life. As the characters discuss societal roles and future ambitions, we see Sylvia's longing to explore life more expansively, reflecting on her past and current relationships, particularly with the eligible Jack Amidon. Through witty dialogue and introspective musings, the opening sets the stage for Sylvia's journey of self-discovery, raising questions about love, career, and the various roles women are expected to fulfill.
