A Doll's House (1879) was Ibsen's first major success. It caused great scandal at the time due its ending: its protagonist Nora abandons her family after her husband discovers she had forged her dead father's signature to borrow money. She did it to finance a trip to Italy that would save her husband's life.A realist play about women's role in Victorian society that shows Ibsen's concern with women's rights, or human rights in general.
