Her father was a minister; her mother died when she was an infant, and she was raised by an aunt, to whom she was very close. At the age of 22, she married William Gaskell, a minister, and lived in Manchester. She had a very busy life as a wife and mother; as well, she was active in charity and social justice work. Much of Gaskell's writing espoused social causes, such as \u003ci\u003eMary Barton\u003c\/i\u003e, a story of a working-class family in late 1830s Manchester. Her most popular novel is \u003ci\u003eCranford\u003c\/i\u003e, a story of the day-to-day life of inhabitants of a small village. Charlotte Brontë was a close friend of Gaskell, and Gaskell's 1857 biography \u003ci\u003eThe Life of Charlotte Brontë\u003c\/i\u003e was much admired. Gaskell's final book, \u003ci\u003eWives and Daughters\u003c\/i\u003e, unfinished upon her sudden death, is considered by some to be her finest work. Her writing fell out of favour in the early twentieth century but is enjoying renewed respect among academics and lovers of good books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 7.4 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47398336823545,"sku":"9781486936229","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/qQyEF-kwCh9781486936229_c6094d9f-6bd4-4099-be5d-2dd8723f6eb6.webp?v=1770301334","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-grey-woman-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
