About this book
In the late 19th century, societal norms were rigidly defined, particularly for women in the South. "Across the Chasm" by Julia Magruder delves into this turbulent landscape through the eyes of Margaret Trevennon, a young woman torn between her aspirations and the expectations imposed upon her. As Margaret navigates her world, she confronts the dual pressures of gender roles and personal ambition, illuminating the struggle for autonomy in an era marked by tradition. This compelling narrative invites students and civic activists to explore themes of self-discovery and societal constraints. With its rich character development and poignant reflections, "Across the Chasm" serves as a vital resource for understanding the complexities of female identity in a changing society.
