Behind A Mask or, A Woman's Power - Paperback

by Hollybook (Editor), Louisa May Alcott (Author)

Many literary critics treat the novel; for example, one critic treated the novel as a version of the "Beauty and the Beast" trope, while others provide feminist critiques of the narrative. Alcott's treatment of themes like acting, social class, and the struggle for agency all inform these larger discussions by critics.
