About this book
In the late 19th century, societal norms were shifting, and the role of women was increasingly scrutinized. "A Red Wallflower" by Susan Warner explores these tensions through the lens of Esther Gainsborough, a young girl navigating her identity in a small Connecticut village after the loss of her mother. As Esther grapples with her place in a world that often sidelines women, she embodies the struggle for autonomy and self-expression. Unique elements such as the portrayal of familial bonds and the exploration of personal grief highlight the emotional landscape of the era. This novel is ideal for students, civic activists, and historians interested in women's rights and social change, offering a poignant reflection on resilience and the quest for belonging.
