Summary "The Career of Claudia" by Frances Mary Peard is a novel written in the late 19th century. This story primarily follows the life of a young woman named Claudia Hamilton, who arrives at the home of her three cousins after the death of her mother. As she embarks on this new chapter of her life, she contemplates her ambitions and the potential for independence in a society that often restricts women's opportunities. The opening of the novel introduces Claudia, who is initially surprised not to be met at the train station by her cousins. Dismissing her momentary disappointment, she reflects on her decision to live with them as a choice driven by curiosity and a desire for independence, rather than familial obligation. As she settles into her new environment, her fresh ambitions for a career in landscape gardening begin to surface. The interactions with her cousins reveal dynamics of both admiration and skepticism towards her unconventional aspirations, setting the stage for developments in her character and relationships with the people around her, including her cousin Harry Hilton and the critical Miss Emily, as well as Captain Fenwick, who hints at a budding romantic subplot.
