"Woman's Wild Oats: Essays on the Re-fixing of Moral Standards" by C. Gasquoine Hartley is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The book explores the moral and social implications of women's changing roles in society, particularly after World War I, and critiques the contemporary feminist movements from Hartley's perspective as she reflects on women's identity, responsibilities, and societal expectations. At the start of the book, Hartley narrates her experiences during the celebratory aftermath of World War I, focusing on the chaotic joy of Victory Day in London. She observes a deep contrast between the jubilant atmosphere and her feelings of concern and sadness about the implications of this newfound freedom for women. Hartley's opening sets the stage for her argument that superficial celebrations mask underlying issues of women's identity and societal roles. The opening portion serves as a visceral introduction to her critical examination of women's liberation and the impact of modernity on traditional values, suggesting that the recklessness of celebratory behavior reflects a deeper crisis of purpose and morality.
