| Summary | "Broken Barriers" by Meredith Nicholson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Grace Durland, a spirited and self-reliant young woman who faces family financial struggles that force her to leave college and return home. As she navigates her new circumstances, the narrative delves into themes of societal change, gender roles, and personal ambition in a rapidly evolving world. At the start of the book, Grace is depicted on a train journey, reflecting on her disappointment at having to leave the university due to her family’s financial crisis, while also feeling a sense of adventure about what lies ahead. Upon arriving home, she reconnects with her family and learns about her father’s recent struggles after being ousted from a business he helped create. The dialogue reveals tensions within the Durland family, especially between Grace and her older sister Ethel, highlighting their differing views on societal expectations and the role of women in the workforce. Grace’s determination to find work in a department store demonstrates her desire for independence amidst familial pressures, setting the stage for her journey of self-discovery and resilience against societal barriers.
