About this audiobook
Ermine Williams, a brilliant but physically disabled woman, and her idealistic cousin Rachel seek to find meaningful work in a society that offers few outlets for female intellect. Their journey into social reform is marked by both sharp wit and humbling mistakes as they learn the true meaning of service. This sophisticated novel is a landmark exploration of Victorian feminism and intellectual independence.
