Bag om Towards the Goal

Towards the Goal is a book written by Mrs. Humphrey Ward, a British novelist, and social reformer. The book is a memoir that chronicles her experiences as a young woman in the late 19th century, as she struggled to find her place in society and pursue her dreams.The book begins with Ward's childhood in the English countryside, where she developed a love for literature and a desire to make a difference in the world. She then moves on to her early adulthood, where she faced numerous obstacles and challenges as a woman trying to establish herself as a writer and activist.Throughout the book, Ward reflects on her personal struggles and the societal pressures that she faced, including the limitations placed on women during that time period. She also discusses her involvement in various social causes, such as women's suffrage and education reform.Towards the Goal is a powerful and inspiring memoir that offers a unique perspective on the challenges faced by women in the late 19th century. Ward's writing is insightful and engaging, and her story is sure to resonate with readers who have faced their own struggles in pursuit of their goals.1917. With a Preface by Theodore Roosevelt. The novelist Mrs. Humphrey Ward (Mary Arnold Ward), was the niece of the poet Matthew Arnold, and granddaughter of Dr. Thomas Arnold, the headmaster of Rugby School who was immortalized as a character in the novel Tom Brown's Schooldays. This volume is, in a sense, a sequel to England's Effort-one of the most successful of all war books. It is, in fact, a graphic revelation of the verification at the front of the prophecy England's Effort implied-that as England's effort was to the utmost she would soon be striking out as hard and as skillfully as any belligerent, and in the direction of a certain victory.
