The World's Own is a novel written by Julia Ward Howe and published in 1857. The story follows the life of a young woman named Lillie, who is born into a wealthy family in New York City. Lillie is intelligent, independent, and determined to make her own way in the world. She defies the expectations of her family and society by pursuing a career as a writer, and eventually becomes a successful author.Lillie's journey is not without its challenges, however. She faces criticism and rejection from those who do not believe that women should be writers, and she also struggles with her own doubts and insecurities. Along the way, she meets a diverse cast of characters, including artists, activists, and intellectuals, who help her to navigate the complexities of life in nineteenth-century America.Through Lillie's story, Howe explores themes of gender, class, and identity, and offers a critique of the social and cultural norms of her time. The World's Own is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
