Summary: "Woman on Her Own, False Gods and The Red Robe" by Eugène Brieux is a collection of three plays written in the early 20th century. The works examine themes of women's independence, societal expectations, and the moral dilemmas faced by individuals, particularly within the context of marriage and work. The opening play focuses on the character Thérèse, a young woman navigating her newfound independence in a world that challenges traditional gender roles. At the start of "Woman on Her Own," we are introduced to Thérèse, an aspiring actress engaged in a performance amidst personal turmoil. Her godparents, Madame and Monsieur Guéret, are grappling with financial ruin while trying to shield her from the harsh realities of their situation. Thérèse has recently learned of her own financial misfortune, which impacts her engagement to René, a young man concerned about his family's disapproval. As she contemplates her future, Thérèse expresses a strong desire for independence and self-sufficiency, ultimately deciding to pursue a career in writing rather than conform to societal expectations. The opening sets the stage for her struggle to assert her identity in a rapidly changing world, offering a glimpse into the complex dynamics of love, ambition, and the quest for personal agency.
