This Freedom

In 1922, his book This Freedom was published to controversy, seen by the women's rights movement as an anti-feminist novel. G. K. Chesterton, however, suggested that "while the story might be criticized, the criticisms can certainly be criticized." In any case, This Freedom proved to be highly successful and was ranked by the New York Times as the 7th best-selling book in the United States for 1923 and the 6th best for all of 1924.
