About this book
In a time when traditional gender roles were rigidly enforced, "Joanna Godden" by Sheila Kaye-Smith emerges as a powerful narrative of resilience and independence. This early 20th-century novel introduces readers to Joanna, a determined young woman who defies societal expectations by taking charge of Little Ansdore Farm following her father's passing. With the marshes of Sussex and Kent as a vivid backdrop, the story explores themes of self-reliance and the struggle for autonomy in a male-dominated world. Ideal for students and civic activists, this compelling tale not only highlights Joanna's journey but also reflects broader questions of identity and empowerment. Discover how one woman's fight for her place in the world resonates through time.
