A wonderful read about a nineteenth-century 18-year-old American heroine who takes charge of her own life and that of those around her in a most delightful way.

Oh my gosh I loved this so so much! Charlotte Perkins Gilman is amazing, it's over 100yrs old and such a brilliant story of feminist empowerment with one of the best heroines ever! And it really motivated me to do more in life! Read it!

Lovely, proto-feminist coming of age story, inspiring to manipulate and cheat but in a good way.

Elle s'appelle Benigna MacAvelly, mais préfère se présenter comme Benigna Machiavelli, "une enfant prodige en bon sens...avec bien sûr une pointe de machiavelisme", comme elle se décrit elle-même. Benigna est un personnage très attachant, plein de malice et d'espièglerie. Ce roman très amusant, écrit en 1914, est tellement en avance sur son temps quant aux idées que cela en est surprenant. Un petit bijou !
