A Girl Of Virginia (1902)

""A Girl of Virginia"" is a novel written by Lucy Meacham Thruston and published in 1902. The story is set in Virginia during the late 19th century and follows the life of a young girl named Virginia Randolph, who is the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner. Virginia is a free-spirited and independent girl who is determined to live life on her own terms, despite the expectations of her family and society. She is passionate about learning and education, and dreams of attending college, which was a rare opportunity for women at the time. As Virginia grows older, she becomes increasingly aware of the injustices and inequalities that exist in her society, particularly with regard to race and gender. She becomes involved in the women's suffrage movement and begins to challenge the traditional gender roles that have been imposed on her. Along the way, she falls in love with a young man named Jack, who shares her progressive views and supports her in her quest for equality. The novel explores themes of social justice, gender roles, and the struggle for equality, and provides a vivid portrait of life in the American South during a turbulent period in history. Through Virginia's story, the author offers a powerful critique of the social and cultural norms that have held women back for centuries, and celebrates the courage and determination of those who have fought for change. ""A Girl of Virginia"" is a timeless and inspiring tale of one young woman's journey towards self-discovery and empowerment, and a testament to the power of individual agency in the face of social oppression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
