Thrown On The World: Or The Discarded Wife is a novel written by Bertha M. Clay and published in 1876. The story revolves around the life of a young woman named Edith, who is left destitute and alone after her husband abandons her. The novel explores the struggles and hardships that Edith faces as she tries to make a living for herself and her child in a society that is not kind to unmarried mothers. Along the way, she encounters a variety of characters, both good and bad, who help or hinder her in her quest for survival. Through Edith's journey, the novel touches on themes of poverty, social class, gender roles, and the challenges faced by women in the late 19th century. Overall, Thrown On The World is a poignant and thought-provoking work of fiction that offers a glimpse into the struggles of women in a bygone era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
