A story of "the group" of Vassar College grads of the class of 1933, this book offers an interesting commentary of the social and sexual mores of the era in American history between the Depression and the beginning of WWII. I'm sure this book was considered to be quite risque in its day (Copyright 1954!). It took me about 100 pages to really become absorbed in the story, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. An interesting read! I understand that the movie is good, also.

Eight young women from the class of 1933 have graduated from Vassar and are beginning to learn about life. They choose or are offered marriage, a career or an emancipated life, one of sexual or social freedom. In their discoveries and development they mirror the growing up of provincial America.
