Travelling to picturesque locales such as Paris, Neuchatel, and Geneva, the novel reflects on the complex and often contradictory societal expectations placed upon women during this period. Through the adventures and interactions of Miss Denham and Winny, the author explores themes of female empowerment, societal constraints, and the search for self-fulfillment amidst a world in flux.

Excerpt from This Work-a-Day World, Vol. 3
The reason of Miss Denham's coming abroad was to give her mind perfect freedom in de ciding that momentous question, to marry or not to marry. She was almost at the end of those two years of reflection which She had required, but scarcely nearer to a conclusion than at the beginning. She felt that there was still much to be said on both sides.

Excerpt from This Work-a-Day World, Vol. 3
The week in Paris was not laborious. Georgie ruled that Winny must not attempt to do too much. She knew Paris well, and spent her mornings writing immense letters. Winny made excursions in little Open carriages, alone or attended by Tom, and contrived to become mistress of the general plan and aspect of the old quarters of the city which pleased her best. The new were soon learnt, and here, as in London, She thought that the streets were the most interesting Show. Churches, palaces, galleries of pictures she did her duty to, but both she and Tom seemed rather glad to have done with duty when they issued forth into the busy, bustling streets again, and mounted into their little carriage to drive about. Of an evening mostly they had open-air music.
