A Social Departure: How Orthodocia And I Went Round The World By Ourselves is a travelogue written by Sara Jeannette Duncan and first published in 1890. The book chronicles the journey of two young Canadian women, Orthodocia and her friend, as they embark on a trip around the world. The narrative is a humorous and satirical account of their experiences as they travel through Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States. The book is written in a lively and engaging style, with a keen eye for detail and a sharp wit. The author uses her observations of different cultures and societies to comment on the social norms and expectations of her own time. The book also explores themes of gender and identity, as the two women navigate the challenges of traveling alone in a world that is often hostile to independent women.Overall, A Social Departure is a fascinating and entertaining account of a journey that was both daring and groundbreaking for its time. It offers a unique perspective on the world of the late 19th century, and is a testament to the adventurous spirit of two young women who dared to challenge the conventions of their society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
