Relative Fortunes
By Marlowe Benn
New York. 1920s. Voting. Money. Greed. Rape. Abortion. Corruption. Family. Career. Marriage. Not wanting to have to marry to secure an income may have been part of Julia Kydd’s motivation for coming to New York. But, in the end, after solving a heartbreaking murder, she came to appreciate the role of the suffragist in society, as well as, realize freedoms she had gained due to their hard work. I think at times we take our independence for granted. The rights we have. Our ability, as women. to make our own way in the world on our terms. Marlowe Benn’s characters wove their way into my head and my heart.
