In an era when societal norms dictated personal destinies, "A Question of Marriage" by Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey explores the tumultuous journey of Vanna Strangeways, a young woman confronted with the harsh reality of her family's legacy. Stripped of her right to marry due to a medical decree, Vanna navigates the treacherous waters of love and societal expectation, raising profound questions about autonomy and mental health. This compelling narrative delves into themes of personal freedom and the constraints imposed by inherited stigma. Ideal for students and historians alike, this novel offers a nuanced perspective on the intersection of gender and mental illness in the late 19th century, making it a vital addition to discussions on women's rights and societal reform.
