Dumb Martian (1952)[1]. is a short story by John Wyndham. It is noticeable for the relationship between male and female characters.
An Earth man "buy"s a Martian woman from her family to accompany him on his five-year job in a small moon of Jupiter that has no habitance. His company's agent urges him to marry her for anti-slavery laws for getting passport. Martian people are a race of human with a dead civilization. Their eyes are big and speak a little, so they look surprised and dumb.
The man behaves so rudely and violent to the woman and urges her to wear colors on her face and do her hair to look like earth women and says "look like a 'real woman'."
At the and, the martian woman takes revenge, kills him and shows that she is clever and the man is dumb.
