| Summary | "College Girls" by Abbe Carter Goodloe is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the experiences of young women in a college setting, exploring themes of beauty, ambition, and the social expectations placed upon women. Through various characters, particularly Miss Ronald and the enigmatic Miss Meredith, the narrative delves into the lives and aspirations of college girls during a time marked by changing attitudes toward women's education and independence. At the start of the book, we are introduced to a lively winter sleighing party, where conversations about college life and the male counterparts at Harvard dominate the evening. Miss Ronald, a stylish and popular girl, shows off her room filled with trophies and mementos from her college days to her friends, including the new girl, Miss Meredith. The girls' fervent discussions turn towards a famous young man whose photograph captivates them all, revealing their collective fascination with success and societal ideals of romance. Amidst this, Miss Meredith, whose demeanor is more reserved, hints at possessing deeper knowledge about the young man, ultimately contrasting the superficial enthusiasm of her peers. As the opening unfolds, it sets the stage for exploring the complexities of girlhood, aspirations, and social dynamics in a collegiate world. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
