Girlhood is a novel written by Marianne Farningham and published in 1869. The book tells the story of a young girl named Edith who grows up in a wealthy family in Victorian England. Edith is a bright and curious child who is eager to explore the world around her, but she is also constrained by the strict social norms of her time.As Edith grows older, she begins to question the expectations placed upon her as a young woman. She struggles to find her place in a society that values obedience and conformity above all else. Along the way, Edith encounters a range of characters who challenge her beliefs and help her to discover her own identity.Through Edith’s journey, Farningham explores themes of gender roles, class, and social expectations in Victorian England. The novel provides a vivid portrayal of life for women during this time period, and offers a nuanced perspective on the challenges and opportunities that were available to them.Overall, Girlhood is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of young women in Victorian England. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of gender and social norms, and for those who enjoy classic literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
