"In Times Like These" by Nellie L. McClung is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century, likely around the time of World War I. This work delves into the roles of women and society during a tumultuous era, addressing themes of gender equality, activism, and the broader implications of war. McClung critiques societal norms and the perception of women, aiming to elevate the discourse surrounding women's rights and their contributions to societal progress. The opening of the book begins with a powerful meditation on the nature of war, contrasting the external battles fought by men with the often-overlooked internal struggles faced by individuals in their pursuit of growth and justice. McClung uses vivid imagery from the natural world to illustrate the relentless quest for survival and improvement that exists not just in nature, but within human souls. She advocates for an active engagement against injustices—arguing that life should not be met with resignation but with determination to fight for a fairer world. The introductory chapter establishes her thesis on the unending struggle for equity and invites readers to question traditional notions of peace and power in society.
