Project Gutenberg 2008-09-30 Public domain in the USA. 98 Hall, Eliza Calvert 1856 1935 Strong, Beulah Aunt Jane of Kentucky Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Suzanne Shell, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Aunt Jane of Kentucky" by Eliza Calvert Hall is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character of Aunt Jane, an elderly and endearing woman who shares memories of her life, experiences, and the people in her community, particularly focusing on women's roles and societal expectations. The narrative is rich with nostalgia and explores themes of memory, femininity, community, and the passage of time. At the start of the novel, Aunt Jane invites a young visitor into her home, setting a warm and reflective tone. As she begins to reminisce about her life, she tells a story about "Sally Ann's experience," illustrating women's struggles for agency within a patriarchal society. The opening showcases Jane's relationship with her surroundings and her memories, including her patchwork quilts that serve as a metaphor for her life's experiences and connections. The blend of personal anecdotes with social commentary lays the groundwork for a deeper exploration of the lives of women in Kentucky during that era.
