About this book
In the early 20th century, societal norms often confined women to limited roles, but "Daddy-Long-Legs" by Jean Webster breaks these barriers through the eyes of Jerusha Abbott, an orphan determined to forge her own path. This epistolary novel explores themes of self-reliance and personal growth as Jerusha navigates her education funded by an enigmatic benefactor. With her sharp wit and unyielding spirit, she challenges the expectations placed upon her, embodying the quest for autonomy and the pursuit of dreams. Ideal for students and civic activists, this timeless tale highlights the importance of education and empowerment, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of women's rights and individual agency.
