Ann Vickers (novel)
Ann Vickers is a 1933 novel by Sinclair Lewis. It is a part of three feminist books that Lewis had written, the other two being Main Street and The Job. It was made into a 1933 drama film of the same name directed by John Cromwell, adapted by Jane Murfin.[1]
Plot
The novel follows the heroine, Ann Vickers, from
First World War, she has her first sexual affair, becomes pregnant, and has an abortion
. Later, having become successful running a modern and progressive prison for women, she marries a dull man, more out of loneliness than love.
Mired in a rather loveless marriage, she falls in love with a controversial (and perhaps corrupt) judge. Flouting both middle-class convention and that of her progressive social circle in New York, she becomes pregnant by the judge, having a son.
