i just want to say that I just feel so bad for the real mildred. She wanted more agency in her life but couldn't because of patriarchy. And so she played the cards she was dealt, did what society said would lead her to be successful in life and even remarried but was left in such dire circumstances. As Florence Pugh said as Amy March: As a woman there's no way for me to make my own money, not enough to earn a living or to support my family. And if I had my own money, which I don't, that money would belong to my husband the moment we got married. And if we had children they would be his, not mine, they would be his property; so don't sit there and tell me that marriage isn't an economic proposition because it is it may not be for you [a man] but it most certainly is for me [a woman]. Mildred now and her handling of the situation within the constraints of their society, she's a superwoman.
And just had a revelation while typing my comment re quoting Amy March; I wonder if the author was in any way inspired by little women? Why am I saying this? Well putting it simply, 1. This story centers on four young ladies if we include Mildred. Mildred now was not originally a mother but just a young women who came into the body of a now twice widowed woman who is still young and can be remarried. 2. the setting is generally about women's prospects and societal constraints in both stories. The institution of marriage is pretty much discussed as the only means for women to be secure in this world (with Mildred deftly challenging it for her and her children's sake). In little women, it is generally the same; the four young ladies are finding their way while growing up in a society that is predominantly still of such older mindset. 3. Somewhat out there. Amy was being courted by a man named Fred Vaughn and lowkey similar to Fred Vans lol.
Anyway, i hope this webtoon is completed. I'm interested in how things play out for Amy and Lily. Iris and Milred is pretty obvious at this point. That said, thank you to the person who dropped the novel link.
