Self Dependence: A Tale is a novel written by Eliza Paget and first published in 1838. The story follows the life of a young woman named Caroline, who is forced to rely on her own resources after her father dies and her mother remarries a man who is unkind to her. Caroline is determined to make her own way in the world and becomes a governess, working for a wealthy family. She faces many challenges along the way, including the disapproval of her employers, but she remains steadfast in her determination to be self-reliant.
