The Clever Woman of the Family by Charlotte M. Yonge is a new woman novel that focuses on a group of women in a small seaside community. It is the early 1860s and British women outnumber men to such an extent that not all women can expect to marry.
The central character in the story, Rachel Curtis, the clever woman of the title, is an opinionated young woman whose yearning for a mission in life leads to tragicomic results. As the story unfolds, many interesting points are revealed. It is definitely a good read.
