Description

Leo Tolstoy's work, 'Little Girls Wiser Than Men', is a pertinent exploration of the ways in which traditional gender roles and expectations are challenged by an unfolding narrative. Through his use of satire and irony, the text confronts societal values associated with the subjugation of women within patriarchal systems. By critiquing prescribed gender norms, Tolstoy invites the reader to reflect upon the capacity for female characters to transcend their imposed limitations through acts of individual autonomy.

Author

Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910) was born to a titled family at Yasnaya Polyana, served in the Crimean War, and wrote the two novels that made Russian fiction a world event: War and Peace and Anna Karenina. The first holds a nation at war and at home; the second holds a marriage until it breaks. Later he turned from the worldly novel toward essays and moral tales, arguing with church, property, and his own fame. One hundred and six titles here.
