Naturewoman

Naturewoman

by Upton Sinclair

Naturewoman, a play by Upton Sinclair, explores the clash between the free-spirited and nature-loving Oceana and her conservative Bostonian family. As Oceana's unconventional ways challenge societal norms, she finds herself at odds with her relatives, particularly when she attracts the attention of a married man. Sinclair's progressive viewpoints are evident throughout the play, as he critiques Victorian morality and advocates for individual freedom and self-expression.
