Description: BETTY WALES FRESHMANby Margaret WardeIllustrated by Eva M. Nagel ~ ~ ~ ~ ~Pictorial hardcover no dust jacket; 369 pages; Size Approx. 5 X 7 1/2.Published by The Penn Publishing Company; 1920. Details: "Betty Wales, Freshman was the first in Margaret Warde's series of novels about a young college woman's adventures, in the first decade of the twentieth century. When Betty arrives at Harding College - the New England alma mater of her older sister, Nan - the young Cleveland woman is all at sea. But she soon settles into her new life, becoming acquainted with her fellow boarders at Mrs. Chapin's. From the cheerful Rachel Morrison to the somewhat hapless Roberta Lewis, the beautiful and confident Eleanor Watson to the shy Helen Adams (who is also Betty's roommate), Betty soon has many new friends. But will she keep them all, as the year progresses...?""An interesting glimpse into the world of the turn of the 20th century college girl. It's interesting to see the different types of girls and to realize that many of the same "cliquish" personalities and behaviors that exist today were also part of college life more than 100 years ago now. These were the New Women in the making: the athletes, the politically ambitious, the studious wallflowers, the society popular girls who would rather party than study, the girls working their way through college, and the girls who wanted to be a bit of everything, like Betty Wales, who, ultimately, wanted to be liked and wanted to belong, but also wanted to be academically successful. I found myself engrossed in the lives of these girls." ~ goodreads book reviewsContains 7 glossy illustrations.A fine addition for your bookshelf!
