Summary: "A Woman of Yesterday" by Caroline Atwater Mason is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Anna Mallison, a reflective and earnest young woman whose life is interwoven with themes of religious devotion, personal sacrifice, and the quest for identity. Set against the backdrop of a small Vermont village in 1869, Anna prepares for a significant moment in her life—the day she will be received into the church, which she sees as a pivotal transition marking the end of her childhood and the beginning of a more solemn and self-examining adult life. The opening portion introduces Anna as she quietly navigates her surroundings, revealing her internal struggles and aspirations. She is depicted as thoughtful and somewhat conflicted about her place in the world, particularly in the face of her father's stern yet loving guidance. The narrative provides glimpses into her character development as she grapples with the expectations of religion, her love for poetry, and the emotional legacy of her father's former passion for literature, which he abandoned for a religious life. As Anna prepares for her church admission, she contemplates the weight of her choices and the spiritual conflict that fuels her journey toward self-discovery and commitment to serving others.
