| Summary | "Trial and Triumph" by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores themes of race, identity, and social dynamics through the life of its central character, Annette, a young girl navigating the complexities of prejudice and personal development in her community. The opening portion of the novel introduces readers to Annette's tumultuous relationship with her grandmother, Mrs. Harcourt, highlighting the challenges of caring for a headstrong child who frequently gets into trouble. Annette grapples with her mischievous nature and the sociocultural environment surrounding her, as demonstrated by her conflict with a neighbor’s daughter. The conversations among the adults in her life reveal their concerns about her future, the impact of societal norms, and the harsh realities of being a young African American girl during this period. Annette's struggles underscore the importance of education and self-respect as she aspires to overcome the limitations placed on her by her race and gender, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of her character throughout the novel.
