Project Gutenberg 2006-12-31 Public domain in the USA. 115 Freeley, Mary Belle Dodge, W. L. 06042851 Fair to Look Upon E-text prepared by Marilynda Fraser-Cunliffe, Diane Monico, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Fair to Look Upon" by Mary Belle Freeley is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the stories of notable women from biblical narratives, infusing humor and modern perspectives into their age-old tales. It appears to center on the character of a woman who contemplates her role and power in a world dominated by men, as she grapples with relationships and the expectations of obedience. The opening of the novel presents the protagonist in a candid conversation with her betrothed about their future. This exchange reveals her spirited nature as she challenges the traditional notion of a woman's obedience to her husband. The narrative humorously navigates the complexities of her impending marriage, hinting that her journey will involve an exploration of iconic woman figures from the Bible, such as Eve and Sarah, who defy submission in various ways. Through witty dialogue and a critical lens, the author intends to celebrate women’s autonomy, contrasting past expectations with the burgeoning sense of independence in the late 19th century.
