| Summary | "Grace Darling, Heroine of the Farne Islands" by Eva Hope is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the life and brave deeds of Grace Darling, a lighthouse keeper’s daughter known for her courageous rescue efforts during a shipwreck near the Farne Islands. It dives into the discussions surrounding women's roles in society and illustrates themes of duty, bravery, and selflessness through the lens of Grace’s character. The opening of the text begins with a contemplation of "woman's work," setting the stage for the narrative by examining societal expectations and the contributions of women throughout history. It highlights Grace Galling’s upbringing in a lighthouse, suggesting her formative experiences shaped her bravery and compassion. The author paints a vivid image of life in a lighthouse, intertwined with stories of other heroic women, thereby foreshadowing Grace's eventual act of heroism during a severe storm when she courageously participated in a rescue effort, embodying the ideal of selflessness and duty in the face of adversity.
