| Summary | "Las Solteronas" by Claude Mancey is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores themes of marriage and societal expectations regarding women, particularly focusing on the protagonist, Magdalena, as she navigates the pressures of turning twenty-five and faces her grandmother's fervent desire for her to marry. Through a blend of humor and social commentary, the novel delves into the cultural implications of being single in the context of early 1900s society. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Magdalena, who excitedly celebrates her twenty-fifth birthday, only to encounter her grandmother's anxiety over her unmarried status. Their lively exchange reveals the generational clash regarding views on marriage; Magdalena is determined to maintain her independence, while her grandmother believes marriage is a woman's only respectable path. This opening sets the stage for Magdalena's introspection about the institution of marriage, leading her to contemplate the significance and social perception of being a single woman—or "solterona." Their conversations intertwine humor with a critical examination of societal norms, hinting at the deeper themes that will unfold throughout the narrative.
