About this book
In the late 19th century, societal expectations for young girls were rapidly evolving, challenging traditional norms. "Meg's Friend: A Story for Girls" by Alice Corkran illuminates the struggles of Meg, a girl trapped in a dilapidated boarding house, grappling with her identity and the enigma of her parentage. As she seeks companionship and understanding, Meg encounters themes of resilience and friendship that resonate deeply. This poignant narrative not only captures the essence of childhood loneliness but also reflects the broader societal shifts of the era. Ideal for students and civic activists interested in historical perspectives on gender and childhood, Corkran’s work serves as a timeless exploration of the quest for belonging and self-discovery.
