The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman
by H. G. Wells
"The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman" by H. G. Wells is a novel published in 1914. Lady Ellen Harman finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage to Sir Isaac, a domineering self-made businessman. Despite wealth and four children, she yearns for freedom in an age of suffragettes. When genteel novelist Mr. Brumley falls in love with her at first sight, Lady Harman begins pursuing her own interests—including advocating for women's rights and establishing hostels for working women—while navigating the constraints of marriage and Victorian society.
