The Pastor's Wife
Elizabeth von Arnim
Book Overview:
A tale about a young woman, freed up from the bonds of her family life, to wander all around in search of all things feminist. The story seems somewhat autobiographical, surrounded in disillusionment and humor. Written on the eve of World War I and just back from married life in Germany.

"But—" she began. Then the immense relief of it suddenly flooded her whole being with a delicious warm softness. They did know. Somehow. And a miracle had happened. Oh, how kind God was!
