Hi I want to write a book and have a significant portion of it take place in an orphanage in Californian in the 1890s through pre 1910. I know many orphanages were horrendous, but if there’s any hope of a loving orphanage even if it was poor in resources. Secondly, also what would education of a Noveau riche girl be, and what would her options be in the early 1910s pre world war 1 for employment and escape from a male relative, and courtship be.
