520 _a"Harvest" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a novel written during the early 20th century, reflecting the social changes occurring in post-World War I England. The story centers around Rachel Henderson, a young woman who becomes a farmer after inheriting money from her uncle, thrusting her into a traditionally male-dominated environment where she must prove her capabilities amidst evolving societal norms. The opening of the novel introduces us to Rachel's new life as she arrives at Great End Farm, alongside two old laborers, Peter Halsey and Joseph Batts, who discuss the implications of a woman taking over the farm and the changes brought about by the war. As Rachel surveys her new property, we gain insight into her past struggles and future aspirations, feeling both hopeful and burdened by the weight of her history. The chapter establishes a vivid picture of rural life, greatly affected by the recent war and the rising role of women in society, while hinting at the challenges and evolving dynamics Rachel will face as she navigates her new responsibilities.
