About this audiobook
“The Crux” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a compelling narrative that delves into the lives of several characters in the quiet town of Bainville, and later in the burgeoning West, exploring themes of duty, love, societal expectations, and personal growth. The story is framed as a cautionary tale, particularly for young women, encouraging them to question traditional norms and seek their own paths to fulfillment.
About the author
Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860-1935) gained much of her fame with lectures on women's issues, ethics, labor, human rights, and social reform. She often referred to these themes in her fiction. She is best remembered for her 1892 short story "The Yellow Wallpaper," based on her own bout with severe postpartum depression and misguided medical treatment.
Gabrielle de Cuir, award-winning narrator, has narrated over three hundred titles and specializes in fantasy, humor, and titles requiring extensive foreign language and accent skills. She was a cowinner of the Audie Award for best narration in 2011 and a three-time finalist for the Audie and has garnered six AudioFile Earphones Awards. Her "velvet touch" as an actor's director has earned her a special place in the audiobook world as the foremost producer for bestselling authors and celebrities.
