About this book
In the heart of the Victorian era, societal norms dictated the paths of women, often leaving them vulnerable and without agency. "A Waif's Progress" by Rhoda Broughton intricately explores the struggles of Bonnybell Ransome, a young woman navigating a world that offers little support after her mother's death. As she faces the harsh realities of orphanhood and societal expectations, themes of resilience and self-discovery emerge. This novel uniquely captures the tension between personal ambition and societal constraints, making it a compelling read for students and historians alike. With its vivid portrayal of a woman's fight for autonomy, "A Waif's Progress" remains a significant work in understanding the complexities of female identity in the 19th century.
