Infos

Jean Webster's 'Daddy-Long-Legs' is a charming epistolary novel that tells the story of Jerusha Abbott, a young orphan girl who receives a scholarship to college from an anonymous benefactor known only as Daddy-Long-Legs. Through her letters to her mysterious sponsor, Jerusha shares her hopes, dreams, and adventures as she navigates the challenges of higher education and self-discovery. Written in a light and engaging style, the book offers a glimpse into turn-of-the-century American society and the evolving role of women during that time. Webster skillfully weaves humor, romance, and social commentary into a heartwarming coming-of-age tale that continues to resonate with readers today. Jean Webster, a pioneering female author and social activist, drew inspiration from her own experiences as a college student and her passion for women's rights to pen 'Daddy-Long-Legs.' Her progressive views on education and feminism are reflected in the character of Jerusha, who defies societal expectations and pursues her own path to success. Webster's legacy as a writer who challenged conventions and championed women's empowerment shines through in this timeless classic. I highly recommend 'Daddy-Long-Legs' to readers looking for an enchanting and thought-provoking story that celebrates the spirit of independence and resilience. Jean Webster's delightful novel offers a captivating blend of humor, romance, and social commentary that will leave a lasting impression on those who embark on Jerusha Abbott's journey of self-discovery.
