Little Hanna grows up in a strict middle-class household, where her brother is given schooling and freedom and she is taught to obey. As a young woman she falls for the charming Woldemar, and her first love becomes a lesson in how little a girl of her class is allowed to choose. One of Minna Canth's sharpest studies of a woman's place. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Summary written with Claude Opus 5.5.
