About this book
In the late 19th century, societal norms often dictated the roles and expectations of women, leaving many to grapple with their identities. "Only a Girl: or, A Physician for the Soul" by Wilhelmine von Hillern explores the poignant journey of Ernestine Hartwich, a young girl caught in the web of familial disdain and societal constraints. Through her struggles, the novel delves into themes of self-discovery and the quest for autonomy, highlighting the importance of inner strength and resilience. This compelling narrative invites students, civic activists, and historians alike to reflect on the enduring challenges faced by women. With its rich character development and evocative prose, this work remains a vital commentary on personal and social liberation.
