The Golden Notebook
Book • 1962
The Golden Notebook is a multilayered novel that explores the life, memories, and writings of Anna Wulf in the 1950s.
The novel alternates between a linear narrative titled 'Free Women', which follows the lives of Anna and her friend Molly, and Anna’s four private notebooks: black (her African experience), red (her political life and disillusionment with communism), yellow (a novel mirroring her unfulfilling relationships), and blue (her personal diary).
The novel delves into themes of fragmentation, mental breakdown, and the integration of Anna's disparate experiences into a single golden notebook.
It also touches on feminist issues, the decline of Marxist ideology, and the budding sexual revolution and women's liberation movements.
