This book made a huge impression on me in my early 20's. An old maid is taken care of by her brother and his wife. She has no intention of getting married. She takes care of their children. Eventually, though she has had it and to their surprise, she moves. No one takes this seriously and soon her nephew comes to live with her. She asks the devil for help and becomes a witch. This probably made an impact when it was published on the women's movement and whatnot. I've never been a girly girl. This book made me embrace my womanhood more.
