A Modern Atalanta: Passages In The Life Of A Young Heiress is a novel written by Margaret Surrey in 1908. The story revolves around a young heiress named Atalanta, who is determined to live life on her own terms and break free from the constraints of society.

Instead, she wants to pursue her own interests and passions, which include travel, adventure, and intellectual pursuits.The novel follows Atalanta as she travels the world, experiencing new cultures and meeting interesting people along the way. She is not afraid to take risks and often finds herself in dangerous situations, but she always manages to come out on top. Atalanta's journey is not without its challenges, however, as she must navigate the expectations of her family and society while staying true to herself.Throughout the book, Surrey explores themes of independence, gender roles, and societal expectations. She also touches on issues of class and privilege, as Atalanta's wealth and status give her a certain level of freedom that is not available to everyone.Overall, A Modern Atalanta: Passages In The Life Of A Young Heiress is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that challenges traditional notions of femininity and explores the complexities of living life on one's own terms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
