註釋Throughout her career, Herbst, in her stories, explored women's oppression by the dominant male culture. She suggested that women are restricted by their roles as wives and mothers, a theme found in "The Elegant Mr. Gason" and "Dry Sunday in Connecticut." But some of her characters break out of these supporting roles and establish a degree of self-sufficiency, such as Miranda in "A Man of Steel"; however, others pay emotionally for their independence, as Mrs. Sidney does in "The Enemy."
