This Freedom by A. S. M. Hutchinson is a novel that explores the dynamics of gender roles and societal expectations through the perspective of Rosalie, a young girl growing up in a male-dominated household. Rosalie observes her father and brothers as powerful, adventurous figures, contrasting them with her mother's more subdued existence. Her wonderment at the freedom and attention her male relatives receive illustrates the societal norms of the time, where men are seen as the dominant force, and women are relegated to the background. The novel highlights how women are constrained by the expectations placed on them, which become evident in the family dynamics and Rosalie's growing realization of her own limited role. Through her eyes, the reader begins to understand the disparity between male and female experiences within this traditional setting. The story sets the stage for Rosalie's journey towards self-awareness and explores the conflict between the restrictive roles assigned to women and the quest for personal freedom and identity.
