The Everlasting Newness of Woman

"The Everlasting Newness of Woman" is a popular essay by Jerome Klapka Jerome, an outstanding British writer and humourist (1859 – 1927). The writer reasons upon the role of a woman in modern society, whether she should smoke, work, act in accordance with her will or adhere to the age-old tradition: to stay an obedient slave to a man and circumstances.
