I am not well-read re 19th-century novels and in Charlotte Bronte's "The Professor" had expected to find demure females and overbeing males. In this novel, to my surprise and glee, one --maybe two-- women do a good deal of speaking up for themselves, being entrepreneurial, and determining the courses of their lives. Maybe a book such as this could only have been written by a woman and a bold one at that.  

The voice was refreshing and the book was a delight to discover.
