| Summary |
"Die moderne Ehe und wie man sie ertragen soll" by Maud Churton Braby is a reflective examination of the institution of marriage, likely written in the early 20th century. The work discusses the dissatisfaction experienced by both genders regarding contemporary marriage structures and explores various societal themes surrounding marriage, divorce, and the roles of men and women. It aims to address the growing discontent about marriage and possibly proposes alternative choices for couples. The opening of the work delves into the various perspectives and anxieties surrounding marriage as a social institution, highlighting a collective unease among men and women. References are made to notable authors and theorists such as George Meredith and Leo Tolstoy, emphasizing the idea that traditional marriage is perceived as increasingly restrictive and flawed. The narrative observes a notable shift in gender roles and expectations, where men feel pressured and women experience frustration with their diminished roles, ultimately capturing the complex emotional landscape that defines modern matrimonial relationships.
