The Woman Who Rode Away
by D. H. Lawrence
A desperate, nameless woman decides to leave the ordinary and impossible life of the Chilchua Indians in order to leave their land and connect with their spiritual and ancient ways. While his quest carries physical danger, it also turns into a journey of deep self-discovery and self-acceptance. The works of D.H. Lawrence often speak of the degradation of humanity in a modern, industrialized society. Presented to the reader without a real identity, this short story and its protagonist offer another powerful interpretation of Lawrence's inhuman influences of modern culture.
