A Daughter of the Land (1918) by Gene Stratton Porter is, a love song of a woman and the land from which she çropped. This story now beginning in the late 1880s in Indiana farm country. A Daughter of the Land tells the story of Kate Bates, a young lady with ambition that she must begin on her own to achieve. Kate is the last child of a big family and realises the meaning of hard work. She needs a chance at life while her father wants that she stay at home and continue work there. Kate quits and her family disowns her. She has a tough life and experiences many a problem before things finally turn around for her. This is a tale of hard labour and true love. It is also the story of lots of women at the time. There are ordinary women, bold women, needy women and shrewd women. Kate's real aim is to own and develop a large farm. The characters are human and the conditions are authentic. After refusing the easy way to her dream, she hurts through a bad marriage but finally obtains her land and attains happiness.
