Frau Marie Grubbe: Inside the Seventeenth Century is a historical novel by Danish author Jens Peter Jacobsen. The book tells about the life of an elegant and strong woman, Marie Grubbe, who, finding herself in the difficult conditions of her time, is looking for her place in the world, feeling the weight of the restrictions and stereotypes of the century. The author successfully reproduces the atmosphere of the seventeenth century, where the heroine feels despair, pride and seeks to discover happiness for herself. "Freu Marie Grubbe" is not only a historical essay, but also an important reflection on how difficult it is to be a woman in a world defined by patriarchal customs and social norms.
