It is a feminist novel that is revealing the reality of life that is making a gesture that woman’s life has been changed after the war. So as a whole it could be said that it was a time to celebrate the change in ways of rural life. The woman was living in certain defined limits; a narrow way for generations was being shaped by society. Civil War had changed this fixed norm and shaken foundations of the family.
