Married

Description of book

'Married' is a collection of short stories by the Swedish writer August Strindberg. It contains two volumes: The first volume contained twelve stories depicting "twenty marriages of every variety," some of which present women in an egalitarian light. The volume also contained a long preface, in which, in addition to his support for women's rights, Strindberg offered criticisms of the campaign (such as its class bias), as well as of Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House (the collection contains a story entitled "A Doll's House"). The second volume of stories deals in part with "all the less common forms of 'marriage'" such as "pederasty and lesbianism."
