About this book

In the early 20th century, societal shifts began to redefine opportunities for women, especially in education. "Setä Pitkäsääri" by Jean Webster captures this transformative era through the eyes of Jerusha Abbott, an orphan whose life changes when she receives a scholarship from her enigmatic benefactor, known as "Setä Pitkäsääri." This novel uniquely intertwines themes of independence and self-discovery, as Jerusha navigates the challenges of academia while forging her identity. Ideal for students and civic activists, this poignant narrative explores the importance of mentorship and the pursuit of dreams against societal expectations. Discover how Jerusha's journey reflects the broader quest for personal freedom and empowerment in a changing world.
