What reading level is For Better Or Worse book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Try as she may, believe as she may, start with as many modern ideas of equality or superiority as she may, the result will be the same eventually. From the moment a woman becomes a wife she is in a state of subjection. Lie acts independently of her ; but she cannot of him. He holds the balance of power in the. Shape of providing the money, and what he wills, therefore, must be done. Outside of her own house a woman has no distrac- tions, nowhere to go. A man has his business, his politics, his ...club, and, very often, a dozen places of amusements, any of which are a legitimate resource in case clouds obscure the domestic horizon. But a woman has none of these resources ; her spirit can only fret and chafe against its bars like a bird in a cage. And it is this inability to throw off small causes of irritation and annoyance which spoils many a woman's sweet temper, and renders the wife, as the husband complainingly asserts, very different fjjpm the bride. Is there, then, no happiness in married life, and es- pecially in humble married life ?
