About this book
In the late 19th century, societal expectations of women were rapidly evolving, reflecting a tension between traditional roles and emerging opportunities. "Rhoda's Education; or, Too Much of a Good Thing" by Lucy Ellen Guernsey explores this dynamic through the eyes of Rhoda Bowers, an orphan whose life takes a turn when she is adopted into a family that becomes increasingly distant. As Rhoda navigates her new reality, themes of education and self-discovery emerge, highlighting the struggle for autonomy in a world that often undervalues female potential. This novel is ideal for students and civic activists interested in the historical context of women's rights and education. Delve into Rhoda's journey and discover how her experiences resonate with contemporary discussions on empowerment and identity.
