The Story of an African Farm by Olive Schreiner
"The Story of an African Farm" by Olive Schreiner is a novel published in 1883. Set on a Karoo farm in 19th-century South Africa, it follows three characters—Waldo, Em, and Lyndall—from childhood into adulthood. The novel explores profound questions about faith, feminism, love, marriage, and motherhood through its semi-autobiographical protagonists. Lyndall's fierce independence and refusal to conform to societal expectations anchor this groundbreaking work, which challenged Victorian conventions with its frank treatment
of free thought, gender equality, and women's autonomy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
