![]() This section, entitled “Free Women,” is based primarily on the experiences of Anna and Molly and their relationships with their children and lovers. There is an overarching, more realistic narrative that tells the story of Anna, her friend Molly, Molly's ex-husband, Richard, and Richard's new wife, Marion. The sections overlap, in part, interacting with each other, but have different focuses. The Golden Notebook is structured in disparate sections and told non-chronologically. The book explores the inner workings of the mind, how lives are created, and how mental and societal breakdown are intertwined within the psyche. The book is famous for its portrayal of Communism and anti-war messages, and also includes philosophies of the newly forming women's liberation movement. Doris Lessing’s post-modern novel The Golden Notebook (1962) tells the story of Anna Wulf as she explores four separate, fragmented stories of her life recorded in four separate notebooks, attempting to combine them together into one golden notebook. ![]()
