Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

One By Herself is a memoir written by Clara Lucas Balfour in 1872. The book tells the story of Balfour's life as a single woman in the 19th century, and the challenges she faced as a result of her status. Balfour was an educated woman who had a strong desire for independence and self-sufficiency, but she found that society was not always supportive of these goals. Throughout the book, Balfour reflects on her experiences as a single woman, including her struggles to find meaningful work, her efforts to establish a home and support herself financially, and her encounters with prejudice and discrimination. She also discusses her relationships with other women who shared her struggles, and the ways in which they supported each other. One By Herself is a powerful and moving account of one woman's determination to live life on her own terms, despite the obstacles she faced. It offers a unique perspective on the experiences of single women in the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
