About this book
In the late 19th century, societal norms dictated the roles of women, often confining them to domestic spheres. "The Story of a Governess" by Mrs. Oliphant intricately explores the life of Janet Summerhayes, a governess grappling with her identity and independence amidst these constraints. As she navigates the challenges of her new position, themes of self-discovery and the pursuit of personal agency emerge, reflecting the broader struggle for women's autonomy during this era. This novel offers a poignant examination of class dynamics and the often-overlooked contributions of women in education. Ideal for students and historians alike, this compelling narrative invites readers to consider the complexities of gender and social expectations in a rapidly changing world.
