It Is Acceptable: Det Går An

Modern feminist literature owes its origin partly to this innocent looking romance. However, its main character, Sara Videbeck, is a pioneer of women's liberation at a time when women essentially had no rights. Owning property and a business without a husband were unthinkable at the time, yet she found a way. Wanting no meddling in her affairs by a man, she kept the man she loved close in love but distant in business. Here is the dreamy romance that rocked Europe's foundations in 1838.
