Summary

"The Daughters of Danaus" by Mona Caird is a story about Hadria Fullerton, a bright young woman at odds with the rigid rules of the late 19th century, and her family. The book looks at the limitations put on women, individuality, and gender roles, following Hadria as she deals with her family and the world around her. We learn about Hadria's passion and strong will as the novel presents her engaging in intense talks with her siblings in their top-secret group, the Preposterous Society. There, they discuss lofty ideas, showing their unique personalities and thirst for knowledge. Hadria's aspirations, the weight of societal norms, and her journey to find personal freedom define the early parts of the novel.
