Summary "The Girl's Own Paper, Vol. VIII, No. 354, October 9, 1886" by Various is a collection of articles, stories, and informative pieces aimed primarily at young women, published during the late 19th century. The content reflects themes of motherhood, female empowerment, health, and domesticity, offering guidance and inspiration to its readers. It features a variety of narratives and real-life accounts, engaging with the challenges and aspirations of women in that era. The opening of this volume presents a poignant poem titled "Called Away," depicting a mother's love and sacrifice as she faces her own mortality while comforting her child. Following this emotional piece, the story "The Shepherd's Fairy" introduces a baron who is torn between jealousy and his paternal instincts, as he makes a hasty decision to take his baby daughter away from her luxurious life, believing it necessary for her health and strength. This blend of emotional depth and themes of maternal care and societal expectations set the tone for the rest of the compilation, which promises a mix of heartfelt storytelling and practical advice for women of the time.
