"Fair Play" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story will likely explore themes surrounding women's roles and rights, societal expectations, and personal struggle through the lives of its main characters, particularly Britomarte Conyers, who is portrayed as a strong advocate for women’s independence. The opening of the novel introduces the Four Belles of Bellemont, four young women who are best friends at Bellemont College during their commencement. Britomarte emerges as a passionate figure, dismissing traditional concepts of marriage that reduce women to subservient roles. Her strong views create contrasting dynamics with her friends, who have varying perspectives on love and societal norms. Through discussions among these characters, the groundwork is laid for themes of women’s rights, individuality, and the conflicts between personal desire and societal duty. The opening sets the stage for Britomarte's journey of self-assertion amidst the limitations imposed upon women in her era.
