Set in a small college town in California, Mary Austin's 1908 novel Santa Lucia explores the limited options available to women in early 20th century America. Focusing on the married lives of three young women-William Caldwell, Serena Lindley, and Julia Stairs-the novel is a feminist look at marriage. Like Kate Chopin's 1899 novel The Awakening, Santa Lucia was almost resoundingly rejected by critics in its own day for the seemingly immoral suggestion that women could find happiness and fulfillment outside their own marriages.

Autorenporträt
Mary Austin (nee Hunter) was born in Carlinville, Illinois in 1868 and died in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1934. After graduation from Blackburn College, she moved with her family to California. She later spent time in New York and eventually settled in Santa Fe. A prolific writer, she wrote novels, short stories, essays, plays and poetry, including "Earth Horizon" and "The American Rhythm," now available in new editions from Sunstone Press. Austin became an early advocate for environmental issues as well as the rights of women and other minority groups. She was particularly interested in the preservation of American Indian culture.
