| A Doll's House |
| Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906) |
Written in 1879, A Doll's House is scathingly critical of the traditional gender roles in marriage in those times. In the story, a stifled Nora learns that her husband is not actually the noble person she imagined and decides to leave him, her children and her "Doll House". Shocking to readers when first published. Critically acclaimed still. |

| Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl |
| Harriet Jacobs aka Linda Brent (1813 - 1897) |
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl is a memoir by Harriet Jacobs and was first published in 1861 under the assumed name "Linda Brent". As the title suggests, it tells of her life as a slave and chronicles the harassments, horrors, tortures and traumas that she, and other slaves, endured. It is a narrative that draws attention not only to the conflicts between owner and slave but also that between men and women. An eye-opening account. A must read. |
