Ursula Winfield on nuori, työlleen omistautunut kemisti 1900-luvun alun Britanniassa, jota ravistelevat ensin suffragetit ja sitten ensimmäinen maailmansota. Hän on myös yläluokkainen kaunotar, johon ihastuvat herkästi niin vanhemmat kollegat kuin nuoret sotilaatkin. Naisiin kohdistuu kuitenkin odotuksia, jotka eivät aina vastaa naisen omia pyrkimyksiä. Ursulakin kokee pettymyksiä sekä työssä että rakkaudessa. Voisiko naisten äänioikeus ratkaista ongelmat?Kutsumus on verevä kertomus sadan vuoden takaisesta englantilaisesta luokkayhteiskunnasta ja etenkin sen naisista. Se on myös ainutlaatuinen aikalaiskuvaus äänioikeustaistelusta ja uhrauksista, joita naiset olivat sen puolesta valmiita tekemään. Sukupuoliroolien ja -odotusten tinkimättömänä kuvaajana Zangwill onkin taitavimmillaan. Kirjan keskeinen teema on ajaton: miten yhdistää naisena ura, ihmissuhteet ja poliittinen aktiivisuus.

Published in 1904, "e;The Rise of a Star"e; by Edith Ayrton Zangwill is a compelling work of Edwardian fiction that navigates the intersection of personal ambition and the rigid societal expectations of the early 20th century. While Zangwill is often overshadowed by her husband, Israel Zangwill, this novel showcases her sharp wit and her nuanced understanding of the "e;New Woman"e; movement.The story follows the journey of a young woman striving for success in the theatrical world-a profession that, at the time, was often viewed with a mixture of fascination and moral suspicion.The Struggle for Autonomy: The protagonist represents the burgeoning desire for female independence. Her "e;rise"e; is not merely a climb toward fame, but a struggle to define herself outside the roles of daughter or wife.The Reality of the Stage: Zangwill de-glamorizes the acting profession. She details the grueling rehearsals, the precariousness of employment, and the predatory nature of the industry.Social Class and Reputation: A central tension in the book is the fear of "e;degradation."e; For a woman of the middle or upper-middle class to pursue a public life on stage was a gamble with her social standing.Zangwill's prose is characteristic of the late Victorian and early Edwardian transition. It combines social realism with a dry, observant humor. She doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of the theatrical world, yet she maintains a sense of hope regarding the protagonist's resilience.
