Herself is a novel written by Ethel Sidgwick and published in 1912. The story revolves around the life of a young woman named Anne Vernon who is forced to make a difficult decision after her father's death. Anne's father has left her with a substantial inheritance, but only on the condition that she marries within a year. Anne is torn between following her father's wishes and marrying a man she does not love or risking losing her inheritance by refusing to marry.As the story unfolds, Anne meets and falls in love with a man named Richard, but she is hesitant to accept his proposal because of her father's ultimatum. Anne's struggle to reconcile her own desires with her duty to her family and society is the central theme of the novel.Herself also explores themes of gender roles, societal expectations, and the limitations placed on women in early 20th century England. The novel is a poignant portrayal of a young woman's journey towards self-discovery and empowerment in a world that often restricts her choices.Overall, Herself is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by women in the early 1900s and the importance of individual agency and self-determination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
