Leavitt is a collection of reflections and aphorisms written in the late 19th century. The book presents a wide variety of philosophical musings and observations on life, society, and human nature, often with a focus on the roles and experiences of women. It blends elements of poetry and prose, allowing readers to ponder the insights and wisdom contained within each short piece. The content of the book is divided into two main sections, with the first featuring poignant reflections such as "Lead Kindly Light," a meditation on the stages of life, and "A Fable," a parable about selflessness and sacrifice. The second section, "Odds and Ends," is packed with aphorisms that tackle various themes, including love, societal norms, and the dualities of human behavior. Through these brief yet impactful statements, the authors invite readers to reflect on their own lives and the complexities of human relationships, emphasizing both the wisdom and the folly inherent in our choices.
