The story revolves around the life of Lucy, a young woman who travels to Egypt with her aunt and uncle. Lucy is an unprotected female, meaning she is unmarried and has no male guardian to protect her. This puts her in a vulnerable position in a society that values male protection for women.As Lucy travels through Egypt, she encounters a number of potential suitors, including the charming and wealthy Lord Lufton. However, Lucy is hesitant to commit to any of these men, as she is unsure of their true intentions and is wary of the societal pressures that come with marriage.Throughout the novel, Trollope explores themes of gender roles, societal expectations, and the challenges faced by women in a patriarchal society. He also provides a vivid and detailed depiction of life in Egypt during the mid-19th century, including descriptions of the pyramids, the Nile River, and the local customs and traditions.Overall, ""An Unprotected Female at the Pyramids"" is a fascinating and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique perspective on the experiences of women in Victorian England and in colonial Egypt.""Now Mrs. Damer was soft-hearted, and also somewhat old-fashioned. She did not conceive any violent affection for Miss Dawkins, but she told her daughter that ""the single lady by herself was a very nice young woman, and that it was a thousand pities she should have to go about so much alone like.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
