"Sanctuary", Marriage, and the Status of Women in 1920s America

This article analyzes the novel Sanctuary by William Faulkner through the lens of marriage, gender roles, and the status of women in 1920s America. The author situates Faulkner’s work within the social and cultural context of the Jazz Age — a period of rapid change in women’s roles following World War I. The essay explores how the character of Temple Drake and her experiences reveal tensions between traditional Southern gender expectations and emerging new ideals of female autonomy. It discusses how marriage, societal norms, and ideas of female purity shaped women’s identities and limited their agency during that era.
