Summary: "Η νέα γυναίκα: Δράμα εις πράξεις τέσσαρας" by Kalliroe Parren is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of societal expectations and the evolving roles of women, and it primarily revolves around the lives of the Memidof family, particularly focusing on the daughters and their struggles to assert their identities in a patriarchal society. The opening of the drama introduces the Memidof family returning home from a dance, setting the scene in their elegantly decorated boudoir.

The eldest son, Kostas, is resistant to the arranged marriage his mother desires for him, which adds tension to the family dynamic.
