I delighted in reading this book. Made short work of it reading it in 1/2a weekend. I love reading a good Christian historical romance novel. The lead character Margaret comes gradually into her own. Shes a woman ahead of her time....as were so many  suppressed women in the past. Ms Carmichael hits the nail on the head about how women were to be regarded in society as not having the smarts or capabilities to do anything at all but to be dressed up and either fall in love with approval by family or be sold off into marriage to make a father's business interests grow. Lucky for all of the women today that we can say No! And stand by it! We are intelligent creatures we are capable of making a life choice of our own chosing. As she demonstrates in her work...our ancestors were laying the ground work for us and we should be thankful for such women pioneers and this writer for bringing this to light. These women were there to help us to become all we can be! Thank you Ms Carmichael for showing people these points of how women were treated in history.
