About This Book
A determined young woman from a comfortable household insists on pursuing advanced studies to become a physician, confronting her father's disapproval and her mother's concern that domestic life and marriage would be more appropriate. Intimate family scenes trace persuasive arguments, gentle coaxing, and the heroine's calm conviction as she arranges study within the home while promising to retain youth and personal happiness. The narrative explores tensions between ambition and social expectation, gender roles, educational opportunity, and familial affection.
