Constance Dunlap by Arthur B. Reeve

Constance Dunlap is a novel written by Arthur B. Reeve and published in 1924. The story follows the life of Constance Dunlap, a young woman who inherits a vast fortune from her deceased father. However, her inheritance comes with a catch: she must marry within a year or lose her wealth. Constance is a strong-willed and independent character, determined to avoid marriage at all costs. She sets out to find a suitable husband, but her search proves to be difficult as she faces opposition from her father's business partners and other potential suitors. As Constance navigates the complexities of high society and her own desires, she must confront the harsh realities of gender roles and societal expectations in the 1920s. Throughout the novel, Reeve explores themes of feminism, class struggle, and the limitations placed on women during this time period. Constance's journey serves as a powerful statement on the oppression of women and the need for social change.
