Treasure

by Kathleen Norris

In Kathleen Norris' "Treasure," the Salisbury family navigates the complexities of employing domestic help, specifically a highly educated maid named Justine. Mrs. Salisbury grapples with her traditional views on the role of a maid, questioning her own assumptions as she encounters Justine's modern approach and the progressive attitudes of her husband and daughter. The novel explores themes of class, social change, and evolving gender roles in the context of a changing American society.
