The Wanderer or Female Difficulties follows a woman fleeing France
to escape a painful past, only to be met with new obstacles along
the way. It's an honest depiction of eighteenth-century life
without the presence of political or familial support. A wandering
woman emigrates to England to escape the violent uprising of 1790s
France. With no friends or family, she must find work and connect
with others for assistance. Her lack of finances and social status
leave her vulnerable to the whims of wealthy employers. Despite her
situation, the woman becomes involved with a man who's unaware of
her troubled past. She struggles to maintain her privacy as the
truth becomes harder to hide. The Wanderer or Female Difficulties
highlights the flaws of English society built on politics and
patriarchy. One woman's survival depends on the kindness or cruelty
of others. It's a glaring injustice, that forces her to make light
of dire circumstances. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Wanderer or
Female Difficulties is both modern and readable.
