Item description from seller

Very good condition. Ex library copy with no external stickers. Remnant of date due slip on inside page now covered with blank ex libris bookplate sticker. Body text and binding are still very good. For educated middle-class women in nineteenth-century Britain, options were limited. Great Expectations is the story of a group of intrepid ladies who forged a different path - as governesses to wild colonial boys and girls on the other side of the world. From 1861 to 1886, women participants in the Female Middle Class Emigration Society scheme made new lives in Australia, in cities and on remote stations, in well-established families or as teachers.
