About this book
In the early 20th century, societal expectations for women were shifting, yet many still grappled with the constraints of tradition. "Marcella: Romaani" by Mrs. Humphry Ward delves into the life of Marcella Boyce, a young woman who inherits her family's estate, Mellor Park. As she confronts the dual pressures of personal ambition and social duty, themes of unfulfilled potential and the struggle for autonomy emerge. This compelling narrative explores the complexities of love, duty, and self-discovery against a backdrop of changing norms. Ideal for students and historians alike, this novel offers a rich examination of gender roles and societal expectations, making it a vital read for anyone interested in the evolution of women's rights.
