As she navigates the delicate balance between duty and desire, themes of autonomy and societal constraint emerge, revealing the struggles of women seeking their place in a patriarchal world. Ideal for students and historians alike, this poignant narrative invites readers to reflect on the evolving role of women and the quest for self-determination in a changing society.
