Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the Victorian era's complex social and economic divide through the parallel lives of two distinct women. The author explores how class drastically influences the lives of well-to-do Caroline and her intelligent, strong-willed governess, Miss Colville. Exploring themes of wealth, status, education, and women's roles, the author unpacks the social hierarchy and presents a nuanced picture of 19th-century British social norms.
