"Angela's Business" by Henry Sydnor Harrison is a story set in the early 1900s, mainly following Charles Garrott, a young writer. The novel tells a story about the challenges he faces as he tries to understand the new ideas about women, love, and what society expects. He meets different people who have different ideas about what women should do and how they should act. Charles is stuck between his dream of being a writer and what society tells him is right. He is interested in the discussions about if women should be independent, especially when he compares his modern friend, Mary Wing, to her more old-fashioned cousin, Angela Flower. Charles starts to wonder what it really means to be a woman in a world that's changing and what jobs women should have, work or home. As he talks to Mary and Angela, Charles starts to form his own opinions about women and their place in society, suggesting that the book will really dig into these subjects.
