The Doctor’s Wife (1967) by Ariyoshi, Sawako, set in late 18th century Japan, focuses on the complex relationship between a young-woman and her mother-in-law who compete for the attention of their beloved husband/son. So Long a Letter (1980) by Mariama Ba, set in Senegal in the 1970’s, focuses on the very different choices made by two friends following their husband’s decision to take a second wife. The Awakening (1899) by Kate Chopin, set in late 19th century Louisiana, focuses on a woman who dares to defy a controlling husband. These three novels all raise interesting questions about the options available to women within and outside of traditional marriages.
