Gwen! Gwen Gascoyne! Gwen! Anybody seen her? I say, have you all gone deaf? Don't you hear me? Where's Gwen? I-want-Gwen-Gascoyne! The speaker-Ida Bridge-a small, perky, spindle-legged Junior, jumped on to the nearest seat, and raising her shrill voice to its topmost pitch, twice shouted the "Gwen Gascoyne", with an aggressive energy calculated to make herself heard above the babel of general chatter that pervaded the schoolroom. Her effort, though far from musical, at any rate secured her the notice she desired. "Hello, there! Stop that noise!

Autorenporträt
British author Angela Brazil was well recognized for her large body of work featuring school stories for girls. Brazil, who was raised in a middle-class family and went to the esteemed Headington School in Oxford, was born in Preston, Lancashire, England. Her boarding school experiences are thought to have influenced her later works. Brazil's writing career commenced in the early 1900s when she began to publish her works, which were mostly aimed at teenage females. Her school stories, which usually portrayed the experiences, friendships, and difficulties faced by young ladies attending boarding schools, brought her great fame. Her books frequently had strong female protagonists who overcome adversity to create enduring friendships and gain insightful life lessons. In the early 20th century, Brazil rose to prominence as one of the most prolific writers of girls' fiction thanks to the widespread popularity of her books among young readers during her lifetime. Though her writings are no longer as well-known as they once were, admirers of classic children's literature still like them, and they offer insightful perspectives into the expectations and cultural conventions that surrounded gender roles and education in Brazil at the time.
