| Summary | "Queen Victoria, her girlhood and womanhood" by Grace Greenwood is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the early life and experiences of Queen Victoria, detailing her upbringing, family relationships, and the circumstances that shaped her into the monarch she would become. Greenwood aims to present a sympathetic narrative that highlights Victoria's character as a daughter, wife, and mother, blending biographical elements with reflections on the societal expectations of royal women. The opening of the work sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Victoria's childhood and her family background, particularly focusing on Princess Charlotte, her cousin, and her emotional impact on the British public. This establishes a context of longing for a benevolent queen in the wake of Charlotte's tragic death. The narrative continues to outline Victoria's early education under her mother, the Duchess of Kent, depicting a sensible and progressive upbringing within the confines of royal life. Notably, the text blends anecdotes and historical references, providing readers with insights into the dynamics of the royal household and the development of Victoria's character, hinting at her future reign and the many challenges and expectations she would face as a sovereign.
