By Celia Emmeline Gardner

Book Overview

Broken Dreams is a novel written by Celia Emmeline Gardner and first published in 1873. The story follows the life of a young woman named Mabel, who is raised in a wealthy family but becomes disillusioned with her privileged lifestyle. As she grows older, Mabel becomes increasingly aware of the injustices and inequalities in society, and she becomes determined to use her position of privilege to make a difference.The novel explores themes of social justice, class, and gender roles, as Mabel struggles to navigate a world that is often hostile to her ideals. Along the way, she meets a variety of characters, including a group of suffragettes, a working-class family struggling to make ends meet, and a wealthy industrialist who is torn between his desire for profit and his conscience.Through Mabel's journey, the novel ultimately argues for the importance of empathy, compassion, and social responsibility. Despite the challenges she faces, Mabel never gives up on her dream of creating a more just and equitable world, and her story serves as a powerful reminder of the potential for positive change in even the most difficult of circumstances.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
