Pink and White Tyranny is a novel written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of the famous anti-slavery novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. This novel was first published in 1871 and is set in the late 19th century in New England. The story revolves around a young woman named Bella, who marries a wealthy man named Mr. John Jr. Bella is initially excited about her new life, but soon realizes that she has married into a family that values appearances over substance. Bella's mother-in-law, Mrs. John Sr., is the epitome of this superficiality, and Bella finds herself trapped in a world of pink and white decor, fashionable clothing, and shallow conversation. Mrs. John Sr. is determined to mold Bella into her own image of a perfect wife, and Bella finds herself constantly criticized and belittled. As Bella struggles to find her place in this world, she meets a young man named Mr. Hapgood, who is everything that the John family is not. He is intelligent, kind, and genuine, and Bella finds herself drawn to him. However, her loyalty to her husband and her fear of social ostracism keep her from pursuing a relationship with Mr. Hapgood. The novel is a commentary on the societal pressures faced by women in the 19th century, and the ways in which these pressures can be oppressive and damaging. It also highlights the importance of individuality and authenticity in a world that values conformity above all else. Pink and White Tyranny is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the social mores of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
