Fiction
Jean Webster's novel 'Daddy-Long-Legs' is a timeless classic that follows the story of Jerusha Abbott, a young orphan who is sent to college by an unknown benefactor whom she calls 'Daddy-Long-Legs'. The book is written in the form of letters from Jerusha to her mysterious patron, offering a unique and intimate glimpse into her thoughts and experiences as she navigates the challenges and joys of higher education. Webster's writing style is charming and humorous, capturing the essence of early 20th-century American literature while also addressing important social issues such as women's education and independence. The novel's epistolary format adds depth to the narrative, allowing readers to connect with Jerusha on a personal level. Jean Webster, a graduate of Vassar College, wrote 'Daddy-Long-Legs' as a reflection of her own experiences as a young woman striving for academic and personal success. Her background in women's rights and education shines through in the themes and characters of the book, making it a compelling and thought-provoking read for readers of all ages. I highly recommend 'Daddy-Long-Legs' to anyone interested in exploring the complexities of female identity, empowerment, and growth in a changing society.
