The Galaxy, May, 1877 by Various
"The Galaxy, May, 1877" by Various is a literary magazine published in the late 19th century. It features serialized fiction, articles, and essays that reflect contemporary social issues and artistic themes of the time. This edition includes a narrative about the experiences of a young mother, Lil, as she navigates her domestic life, motherhood, and social aspirations, juxtaposed with her meetings and conversations with a couple of unconventional traveling companions. The opening
portion introduces us to Lil Graham as she reflects on her past travel experiences and contrasts them with her current life as a married woman. Through her eyes, we witness her encounters with another couple, the Malises, who are struggling with the demands of their newborn child. Their differing attitudes toward parenting highlight the tensions between personal ambition and familial responsibility. The narrative reveals Lil’s sympathetic nature towards the suffering baby, nicknamed "little Malaise," as well as her observations on the challenges faced by contemporary women, especially regarding motherhood and societal expectations. This thematic exploration sets the stage for deeper discussions about womanhood, artistic ambition, and the complexities of family life in the unfolding story.
