520    "Married or Single?, published in 1857, was Catharine 
       Maria Sedgwick's final novel and a fitting climax to the 
       career of one of antebellum America's first and most 
       successful woman writers. Insisting on women's right to 
       choose whether to marry, Married or Single? rejects the 
       stigma of spinsterhood and offers readers a wider range of
       options for women in society, recognizing their need and 
       ability to determine the course of their lives. Sedgwick's
       touching, witty, and shrewdly observant novel centers on 
       Grace Herbert, a New York City socialite who must 
       negotiate the marriage market and also learn to develop 
       her own character and take control of her own destiny. The
       story merges a wide range of popular American literary 
       forms--including the seduction novel, the conversion 
       narrative, the novel of education, and social reform 
       fiction--and provides a window on many of the cultural and
       political anxieties of the 1850s beyond marriage, 
       including immigration, slavery, and urban poverty. 
       Sedgwick's lifelong concern with women's duties to the 
       nation as citizens is demonstrated through her depiction 
       of exemplary women of various backgrounds and 
       circumstances who illustrate the idea that becoming a 
       worthy human being is more important than becoming a wife,
       especially in a democratic society. "--|cProvided by 
       publisher. 
520    "Nineteenth-century novel that redefines the role of women
       in marriage, singlehood, and the working world of America 
       in the 1850s"--|cProvided by publisher.
