Abstract

Reading about Carol Kennicott’s suffering in his very Middle American marriage in a very Middle American town in Main Street, one wonders whether her situation was actually reflective of her day and whether Lewis had written other novels showing a similar sensitivity about the particular circumstances of women in society, Sinclair Lewis was consciously exploring through fiction the choices and pressures that women felt personally and socially during the first third of the twentieth century. And this fictional exploration still has relevance emotionally and politically because the choices for and pressures on women have not been significantly notified.
