Summary: "Red Hair" by Elinor Glyn is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Evangeline, a young woman who finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the role of an adventuress after the death of her guardian, Mrs. Carruthers. With little to support herself financially, Evangeline contemplates her precarious future while navigating societal expectations and her own desires for independence and adventure. The opening of "Red Hair" introduces Evangeline as she grapples with her newfound status following the passing of Mrs. Carruthers. Reflecting on her life, she reveals a tumultuous relationship with her guardian, who had initially promised her a fortune but instead leaves her with nothing. As she prepares for a meeting with Christopher Carruthers, Mrs. Carruthers’ heir, she contemplates her options: marriage to a man she does not know or embracing a life of adventure on her own terms. Her striking red hair and captivating beauty become symbols of her defiance against a life of marital constraint. In a humorous and pragmatic tone, Evangeline explores her distinct position in society as she dreams of living freely, setting the stage for her struggles between societal norms and personal desires.
