Publisher's Synopsis
""Free Opinions Freely Expressed on Certain Phases of Modern Social Life and Conduct"" is a collection of essays by Marie Corelli, a prominent British novelist and social commentator of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this book, Corelli offers her candid and often controversial views on a variety of topics related to modern society, including women's rights, marriage and divorce, education, religion, and politics. She argues for greater freedom and equality for women, criticizes the hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness of the church and state, and advocates for a more compassionate and humane approach to social issues. Despite the book's sometimes polemical tone and its frequent use of rhetorical flourishes, Corelli's passionate commitment to social justice and her incisive analysis of contemporary problems make it a compelling and thought-provoking read.1905.
