We All is a novel written by Octave Thanet and published in 1891. The story is set in a small town in the Midwest and revolves around a group of women who are part of the local literary club. The main character is Mrs. Page, a wealthy and influential woman who is the leader of the club. The other members of the club include a young woman named Alice, a middle-aged spinster named Miss Betsy, and a poor seamstress named Mrs. Marsh. The novel explores the dynamics of the literary club and the relationships between its members. It also delves into the social and economic issues of the time, such as the growing divide between the wealthy and the poor. The women in the club are from different backgrounds and social classes, and their interactions with each other reveal the complexities of their lives and the challenges they face. Throughout the novel, Mrs. Page attempts to use her influence and wealth to help the other women, but her efforts are met with mixed results. Alice struggles with her desire for independence and her duty to care for her elderly mother, while Miss Betsy grapples with her loneliness and her unrequited love for a man who is out of her reach. Mrs. Marsh, meanwhile, faces financial hardship and the stigma of being poor in a society that values wealth above all else. We All is a poignant and insightful novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of women in the late 19th century. It explores themes of class, gender, and community, and offers a nuanced portrayal of the challenges faced by women of different backgrounds during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
