Description
Ruth by Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell is a thought-provoking novel that explores themes of social stigma and unwed motherhood in 19th-century England. The story follows the complex relationships between its characters, including a young woman seduced and abandoned by her lover, who finds protection and care from a kindly minister and his sister. Through this tale, Gaskell challenges the societal norms of her time. Published in three volumes in 1853, Ruth is notable for its progressive portrayal of unwed motherhood and its condemnation of the social stigma surrounding illegitimacy.
