Produktbeschreibung
"The Adventures of an Ugly Girl" is a book that was written by Mrs. George Corbett, who is also known as Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett. She is from England. During the course of the book, a woman named Dora is told over and over that she is not quite what she seems to be. Dora wasn't going to let that protect her fall back, even though she had to. Instead, she feels good while she's there and just walks around like a "ugly lady." Because of how she looks, Dora's family doesn't like her, and the book is about how that makes her think and feel. It talks about how much pain she feels every day and the bad things that happen to her at home. As the story goes on, readers see how strong and tough Dora is as she moves through the world and does things her own way, which goes against social rules and the idea that a person's beauty is the only thing that makes them valuable. Through its upsetting themes, "The Adventures of an Ugly Girl" looks at society's focus on beauty and how it can change people. It talks about how strong inner beauty, loyalty, and self-appreciation can be when things go wrong.

Autorenporträt
Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett was an English female author who lived from 1846 to 1930 and was also known as Mrs. George Corbett. Her most famous book is New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future (1889). He was born on August 16, 1846, in Standishgate, not far from Wigan. Mary, who was born Marsden, and Benjamin Corbett were her parents. Her dad worked at a forge, and she went to a good school. Corbett was a reporter for the Newcastle Daily Chronicle and a well-known author of books about society and adventure. A lot of her books started out as serials in magazines and were never turned into books. In June 1889, Mrs. Humphry Ward's open letter "An Appeal Against Female Suffrage" was published in The Nineteenth Century. It was signed by over one hundred other women who were against giving women the right to vote in Parliament. Corbett wrote and released New Amazonia because she was angry about this "most reprehensible act of betrayal ever committed against women by women." However, New Amazonia was not the only book by hers that talked about women's roles in society. It was the most overtly feminist.
