As a capable and intelligent individual, Amy finds success as a secretary and later as a governess, demonstrating her ability to navigate the complex social structures of the Victorian era. However, her pursuit of self-fulfillment and personal freedom leads to whispers of impropriety, painting her as an 'Adventuress' in the eyes of some.
