Lessons from Literature - Stories Exploring Women's Choice in Marriage: Learn from the oldest form of communication and education - storytelling

In this series we examine particular facets of ourselves and, with the aid of many classic authors, delve into characters and stories that not only entertain us, but inform us on how short stories can help us both deal and understand issues that touch and weave into our lives with the words and narratives of many wise talents.

With the insight and talents of these classic authors we are shown that even in quite recent times choice in marriage was, in essence, in the gift of others.
