His fortunate Grace

"His Fortunate Grace" by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a story set in the late 1800s that explores the challenges of love and duty within high society. The main character, Augusta Forbes, is a forward-thinking rich girl who wants to use her money to help people and fight for things like women's rights and socialist ideas. Her strong beliefs often clash with her family's more traditional views, especially those of her mom. As Augusta navigates her social life, she finds herself drawn to the Duke of Bosworth, leading to potential struggles between what she wants personally and what society expects of her, especially given the ongoing debates about women's rights and political involvement happening around her.
