"Ten Girls from Dickens" by Kate Dickinson Sweetser is a collection of character sketches based on the female figures in the works of Charles Dickens, compiled and presented in the early 20th century. This collection serves as a companion piece to Sweetser’s earlier work, "Ten Boys from Dickens," and aims to showcase the girlhood experiences and qualities of ten notable characters, including the likes of Little Nell and Florence Dombey. The book seeks to inspire a new generation of young readers to discover and appreciate Dickens' storytelling through the lens of these cherished female characters. The beginning of "Ten Girls from Dickens" introduces the author’s intention of reviving interest in Dickens' female characters by presenting their stories simply and engagingly. It begins with a preface explaining the purpose and connections to "Ten Boys from Dickens," suggesting that readers will find relatable themes of girlhood and innocence. The first character introduced is the Marchioness, a small and overworked servant girl from "The Old Curiosity Shop." Her introduction highlights both her vulnerability and diligence, as well as her interactions with Richard Swiveller, which set the tone for exploring the lives and struggles of other beloved female figures throughout the collection. Overall, the opening promises a blend of nostalgia and enjoyment for readers familiar with Dickens’ works, as well as accessibility for newcomers to his literature.
