About this book

In a time when societal expectations weighed heavily on young women, "Imogen; Or, Only Eighteen" by Mrs. Molesworth captures the poignant journey of a spirited girl confronting the complexities of adulthood. As Imogen visits the Helmont family's sprawling estate, Grey Fells Hall, she grapples with the unspoken rules of her era and the pursuit of personal freedom. Through vivid characterizations and rich descriptions, Molesworth explores themes of identity and self-discovery, inviting readers to reflect on the constraints placed upon women in the late 19th century. Ideal for students and civic activists alike, this novel serves as a compelling examination of the struggles for autonomy and the quest for unalienable rights within a rigid social framework.
