Trotzkopf

by Emmy von Rhoden

In the 19th century, Ilse Macket, a spirited and wild young woman, faces societal expectations and struggles to find her place in a world that demands conformity. After her mother's death, she is raised by a stern father and finds herself at odds with the rigid societal norms that dictate her life. When her father remarries, a new stepmother arrives, and the family decides to send Ilse to a boarding school to transform her into a proper lady. The story explores themes of rebellion, societal expectations, and the quest for self-discovery as Ilse navigates the complexities of life in a strict boarding school environment, where her independent spirit clashes with the prevailing norms.
