The Stoic Invalid - with Katy Carr and What Katy Did
Philosophy and Literature - Female Empowerment - Bluestocking Society - Women's intellectual history
In this episode of The Female Stoic Podcast, we look at the character Katy Carr - a 12 year old protagonist in 'What Katy Did' by Susan Coolidge - a children's novel that follows the life of Katy Carr and her siblings in a mid-nineteenth-century small-town setting. The story begins with a happy vignette depicting the carefree lives of Katy and her siblings. Katy, as the eldest, struggles to fulfill her mother’s expectations and often finds herself in trouble due to her untidy and reckless nature. But the plot changes dramatically when Katy has an accident. And in steps cousin Helen, to guide her to a stoic acceptance of the condition she now finds herself in.
