Summary: "Selina: Her Hopeful Efforts and Her Livelier Failures" by George Madden Martin is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on a young American girl named Selina Auboussier Wistar, who is navigating the complexities of life and societal expectations during the late Victorian era. As she grapples with challenges at home, particularly related to her family's financial struggles, the narrative explores her hopes for a better life as well as the inevitable failures that come with her youthful aspirations. The opening of the novel presents Selina in a moment of familial tension, as she listens to her mother and aunt discuss their financial woes. Despite her tender age of seventeen, Selina feels the weight of responsibility and empathy for her family's struggles. Motivated to alleviate their burdens, she decides to take a bold step by offering to teach children in her neighborhood, despite the societal norms that dictate a woman's role during her time.
