| Summary | "A Girl of To-day" by Ellinor Davenport Adams is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around siblings Frances and Austin Morland as they return to their new home in the village of Woodend after Frances's time at a prestigious girls' school. The narrative explores their close bond, the dynamics of their new surroundings, and Frances's eagerness to engage with her peers and contribute positively to her new community. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the spirited and healthy fourteen-year-old Frances, who is excited to reunite with her brother Austin after her schooling. We see their affectionate relationship as they tease and support each other during their walk to their new home. As they arrive in Woodend, the narrative hints at Frances’s intention to become an active participant in village life, particularly through her enthusiasm for helping the poor, which suggests themes of altruism and community involvement that will likely unfold as the story progresses. The characters’ interactions and introductions to the villagers set the stage for both personal growth and social responsibility in the context of their new life.
