Lords of Creation by Ella Cheever Thayer ~ Full Audiobook [drama]

Lords of Creation by Ella Cheever Thayer audiobook.

Genre: drama

Set in late-19th-century America, Lords of Creation is a brisk, three-act stage drama that brings the early fight for women's suffrage into the parlor, the workplace, and the heart of one divided household. At its center is Kate Grovenor, a sharp-minded young woman unwilling to accept that a woman's only respectable future is marriage and dependence. Her determination to work, to speak for herself, and to claim a citizen's voice collides head-on with the complacent certainty of her father, Mr. Grovenor, and the social ambitions of her sister Alice, who measures security in money and status. Around them, the play threads in lively counterpoints: a son who drifts through privilege, suitors who treat women as prizes, and working women like Lizzie and Jennie whose daily realities expose the cost of being denied rights and opportunity. Told through pointed dialogue, domestic confrontations, and moments of satire, Thayer's drama asks who truly earns the title of 'creator' in society: those who hold power by tradition, or those who insist on shaping a fairer future.
