Not that Dane had asked her to tend to him, as he was the first to point out, often.īut if she didn’t, what was going to happen to him? Who else could care for him? She never lost her cool or brought harm to any being.īut she was close, very close, to administering grievous bodily injury to one extremely irritating cowboy who was-no doubt about it-the worst patient she had ever tended to in her life. ![]() If ever she found a sickly mouse or a sad, stranded kitten, she nursed it back to health. Whenever she found a wounded critter on the side of the road she always stopped and tried to help it. She cared for creatures large and small, domestic and wild, both in her job at Gold Valley Veterinary Clinic and in her everyday life.

![]() Some members of Anna’s family are bound for the otherworldly landscape of Burning Man, the art community in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert where 60,000 revelers gather to construct a city designed to last only one week. ![]() Madrigal has seemingly found peace with her “logical family” in San Francisco: her devoted young caretaker Jake Greenleaf her former tenant Brian Hawkins and his daughter Shawna and Michael Tolliver and Mary Ann Singleton, who have known and loved Anna for nearly four decades. Now ninety-two, and committed to the notion of “leaving like a lady,” Mrs. The Days of Anna Madrigal, the suspenseful, comic, and touching ninth novel in Armistead Maupin’s bestselling “Tales of the City” series, follows one of modern literature’s most unforgettable and enduring characters-Anna Madrigal, the legendary transgender landlady of 28 Barbary Lane-as she embarks on a road trip that will take her deep into her past. ![]() ![]() ![]() While Hardy was ahead of his time in creating such a strong female character, he still clings to many gender stereotypes about women: Sue is emotionally fragile and often hysterical, changing her mind at the slightest whim and breaking down in the face of tragedy. As an unmarried, disgraced woman she has no power in society. Sue is never allowed to advance in her work (despite her intelligence) because of her marital status. ![]() Sue, like other women, is expected to be the “property” of the man she marries, so Sue is bound to Phillotson for life even after their separation. She also works alongside both Phillotson and Jude, first marrying Phillotson partly to further her own teaching position (instead of acting as the traditional housewife).ĭespite her intelligence and independence, Sue fails at her endeavors throughout the book, and through her sufferings Hardy critiques the society that punishes his heroine. ![]() ![]() Sue is highly intelligent and very well-read, and she rejects the traditional Christianity of her society. Sue is unique in Victorian society in that she lives with men without marrying (or even sleeping with) them, as with her undergraduate student friend. Sue Bridehead is a surprisingly modern and complex heroine for her time, and through her character Hardy brings up many gender-related issues. ![]() |
