"Christian's Mistake" by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik explores the complexities of these expectations through the eyes of Christian Oakley, who must reconcile her newfound responsibilities as a wife and stepmother with her personal aspirations. As she grapples with the challenges of her marriage to Dr. Arnold Grey, a widowed university master, themes of identity and sacrifice emerge. This novel is a poignant exploration for students and historians alike, shedding light on the intricacies of gender roles during this transformative period. Discover how Christian's journey reflects the broader struggles faced by women of her time.
