About this book
In the mid-19th century, societal norms dictated the roles of women, often confining them to the domestic sphere. "The Late Miss Hollingford" by Rosa M. Gilbert intricately weaves a tale of resilience and self-discovery through the eyes of Margery Dacre, a young woman navigating her newfound independence after the loss of her parents. As she becomes the ward of the enigmatic Mrs. Hollingford, Margery confronts the expectations placed upon her, revealing the complexities of friendship and loyalty. This novel captures the essence of personal agency in a time when women were often denied autonomy. Ideal for students and historians alike, this narrative invites readers to explore themes of identity and societal constraints within a richly detailed historical backdrop.
