About this book

In the late 19th century, societal norms rigidly defined women's roles, often stifling their aspirations. "The Making of a Prig" by Evelyn Sharp delves into this struggle through the eyes of Katharine, the Rector's daughter, who confronts the expectations imposed upon her. As she navigates the complexities of her upbringing, the novel explores themes of personal freedom and moral integrity, highlighting the tension between societal conformity and individual desire. Unique elements such as Katharine's quest for self-identity and her defiance against conventional morality make this narrative a compelling read. Ideal for students and civic activists, this thought-provoking work challenges readers to reflect on the constraints of their own lives while advocating for personal autonomy.
