THE ultimate middle finger to 1899 society. When she has her hands tied in the oppressive, misogynistic society; when she can't perform womanhood like everyone around her seems to; when the only option open to her other than what seems like utter servitude is the dumbest sh*t imaginable, Edna can do nothing but resist. In this way we are more alike than unalike.
