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.
