The central focus is on Martha‚ and much of the writing represents her stream of consciousness as she struggles to ensure that her family and guests are properly looked after.

Literature could not escape from this reality; as a result‚ women began to write about their situation. Ursula Le Guin´s “Nine Lives”‚ published in the 1960´s‚ was one of the first attempts in science fiction literature to adress the condition of women in the social arrengement. “Nine Lives” is set
