Mr. Hogarth's Will by Catherine Helen Spence
"Mr. Hogarth's Will" by Catherine Helen Spence is a novel published in 1864. Two Scottish nieces who expected to inherit their uncle's fortune discover he has left everything to an unknown son instead. Forced to make their own way in the world without assistance, the sisters must navigate unemployment and poverty while maintaining their independence. This early feminist work combines social commentary on women's economic struggles with elements of domestic realism, comparing
life in Scotland and colonial Australia while questioning whether birth or personal merit should determine one's worth. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
