Summary "A Man's Woman" by Frank Norris is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Ward Bennett, a commanding figure leading an Arctic exploring expedition who faces the merciless challenges of nature with a group of twelve men. Central to the narrative is Bennett’s internal struggle against the formidable forces of the ice, reflecting themes of survival, leadership, and man's confrontation with the natural world." The opening of the novel introduces the reader to Bennett and his fellow expedition members, who have endured a grueling march over treacherous icy terrain. Despite the exhaustion and danger posed by the harsh environment, Bennett shows relentless determination in his leadership. The narrative describes their slow progress, the challenging conditions they face, and the camaraderie developed within the team. As they struggle against pressure ridges and unpredictable weather, Bennett's fierce resolve shines through, revealing his character as one driven by a mix of brutality and an indomitable will to survive, even as hunger and despair loom over the group.
