Pressure of the Times

This quote sets up the context of the society in which Henriette was living. To gain social acceptance, and thus the ease that comes with avoiding being stigmatized, women were encouraged and even forced into becoming wives and mothers. The social pressures to do so were overpowering, and women were seriously limited in their abilities to be creative, productive, and expressive individuals.
