"The Home-Maker" by Dorothy Canfield Fisher is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the themes of gender roles, family dynamics, and the struggle for personal fulfillment through the life of Evangeline Knapp, a devoted mother and housewife. It delves into her frustrations and the challenges she faces in managing her household and children, particularly highlighting her relationship with her often troublesome son, Stephen. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Evangeline as she frantically scrubs the kitchen floor, battling grease stains and her children's disobedience. Despite her tireless efforts, she feels overwhelmed and unappreciated, particularly when her son Stephen goes missing, triggering a moment of deep anxiety. Meanwhile, the family's struggles with illnesses, personal frustrations, and the looming shadow of Evangeline's husband's job insecurity set the stage for a narrative rich with emotional resonance. The opening portion emphasizes Evangeline's devotion and desperation, offering a glimpse into the life of a woman trapped by the demands of her role as a homemaker and the societal expectations of her time.
