My Opinions and Betsey Bobbet's. Designed as a Beacon Light, to Guide Women to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, but Which may be Read by Members of the Sterner Sect, Without Injury to

This satirical novel, first published in 1873, is a humorous and insightful commentary on the social and political conditions of its time. Through the character of Betsey Bobbets, Holley offers a feminist critique of the limitations and injustices faced by women in 19th-century America, while also lampooning the hypocrisy and pomposity of many of her male contemporaries. The novel's irreverent tone and colorful characters make it an entertaining read, while its themes and insights remain relevant today.
