"Superseded" by May Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Miss Juliana Quincey, a humble arithmetic teacher at the all-girls St. Sidwell's College, as she navigates the challenges of her professional life in an evolving educational landscape. The narrative explores themes of societal expectations, gender roles, and the struggle of women in academia, particularly through the contrasting figures of the diligent yet overlooked Miss Quincey and the vibrant, ambitious newcomer, Miss Rhoda Vivian. The opening of the book introduces the dynamic atmosphere at St. Sidwell's as students and teachers bustle through the corridors. Miss Quincey stands out due to her dry, unassuming nature, often finding herself at odds with the more modern, progressive ideas embraced by the head of the college and the young faculty. A foundational relationship is established between Miss Quincey and her pupils, particularly with Laura Lazarus, a socially ostracized girl. As Miss Quincey grapples with her position in a changing world and her own self-worth, we see her character's depth and the complexities of her interactions—not just with her students but with the surrounding educational community, highlighting her quiet persistence amidst growing fears of obsolescence.
