| Summary | "What Can She Do?" by Edward Payson Roe is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the lives of three sisters—Edith, Laura, and Zell—as they navigate their complex familial relationships and societal expectations in a wealthy household. The book highlights the challenges faced by women during this period, particularly regarding independence and societal roles. The opening of the novel introduces us to the characters and the atmosphere of their lives, beginning with a cold January day in a bustling New York City. Edith, the lively and determined sister, is shown to be nurturing and hopeful as she brings home special treats for her ailing mother, which ultimately receive a disheartening reception. We learn of the strained family dynamics marked by a somewhat detached and critical mother, a father more interested in business, and the contrasting personalities of the sisters. As the story develops, it becomes evident that the sisters must confront their own desires and society's expectations, setting the stage for themes of self-reliance and moral strength amidst the pressures of their social environment.
