A Daughter of the Land - Gene Stratton-Porter

In the early twentieth century, Kate Bates is an anomaly—an independent “new woman” who rejects the privilege of urban life for the “moral, clean” lifestyle of the countryside. Through hard work, education, and self-reflection, the protagonist of Gene Stratton-Porter’s 1918 novel accepts, on her own terms, her birthright as A Daughter of the Land.
