A Great Love is an excellent short story about a woman who works very hard for the Revolution (Russian, of course) and her lover who takes her for granted. Over the course of the book she realizes this and takes action. Its a story that women of today can identify with, particularly women whose husbands view their work as having less importance (the woman's work/career/job) than the man's career/job/whatever. The age of this story in no way effects its timeliness or value.
