What reading level is Woman in the Golden Ages book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For his own wife, Terentia, he has less consideration. She is not facile enough, and finds too much fault with his way of doing things. Perhaps she presses her influence too far, and fails to pay proper deference to his authority. To be sure, he calls her " my light, my darling, " says she is in his thoughts night and day, praises her ability, and trusts her judgment until his affairs begin to go wrong. All this, however, does not prevent his sending her away after thirty years of devotion, and... marrying his lovely young ward, who is rich enough to pay his debts. The latter is divorced in turn because she does not sufficiently mourn the loss of his idolized daughter, and his closing years are bur- dened with the care of restoring her dowry, which draws from him many a bitter complaint. There is a strange note of irony in the tone of the much- married, much-sinning, and perfidious Antony, who publicly censures the " Father of his Country " for repudiating a wife with whom he has grown old.
