Anyone who reads H. Rider Haggard's 19th novel, "Joan Haste," will likely be struck with one overwhelming thought: Times sure have changed for women in the last 100 years or so. Today, nothing much is thought of a woman who bears a child out of wedlock, and that illegitimate child will likely bear no stigma on his or her name in adulthood. But back in 1894, when Haggard sat down to write (or, to be strictly accurate, dictate) "Joan Haste," boy, were things different! Either one of those "transgressions" could just about ruin a person's life. But what if a woman happened to be a "bastard" herself AND a single mother? What then? Well, it is just that double whammy that is explored in this very moving tale.
