Self-Help and Agency in Nineteenth-Century Women’s Writing examines how self-help developed as a strategy for women writers to highlight female agency. While Samuel Smiles's Self-Help popularized the genre, women had long been crafting their own versions through conduct books, essays, and novels that centered female experience.
