Thrown On The World: Or The Discarded Wife is a novel written by Bertha M. Clay and published in 1876. The book tells the story of a woman who is abandoned by her husband and left to fend for herself in a society that is not kind to women in her situation. The protagonist, Edith, is forced to navigate the challenges of poverty, social ostracism, and the loss of her children as she struggles to survive and rebuild her life. Along the way, she encounters a cast of characters, including a sympathetic doctor, a corrupt lawyer, and a wealthy benefactor, as she tries to find her place in the world. The novel explores themes of gender roles, social class, and the power dynamics of marriage, and offers a poignant and often heart-wrenching portrayal of the struggles faced by women in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
