| Summary | "Phebe, Her Profession" by Anna Chapin Ray is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the character Phebe McAlister, who has just returned home after spending two years in Europe. Phebe's experience abroad has spurred her desire to pursue a career in medicine, seeking a purpose beyond domestic life. The narrative explores her challenges in balancing societal expectations with her ambition, while also incorporating family dynamics and relationships with characters such as Theodora, her sister, and Gifford, a charming young man involved in the arts. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a curious young boy named Mac, who engages in a whimsical dialogue with Gifford Barrett, the stranger he meets. Their conversation reveals aspects of childhood innocence, mischief, and the complexities of parental relationships, all while establishing a light, humorous tone. Alongside this interaction, fragments of Phebe’s life are presented, hinting at her imminent return and the life-altering decision she is about to make in choosing the medical profession over pursuing traditional gender roles. Through these interactions and introductions, the novel sets the stage for a deeper exploration of ambition, identity, and societal conventions against the backdrop of early 20th-century America.
