A Master's Degree is a novel written by Margaret Hill McCarter and published in 1913. The story is set in the early 20th century in a small town in Kansas, and follows the life of a young woman named Ruth Thorne who is determined to pursue her dream of obtaining a master's degree in literature. Ruth faces numerous challenges along the way, including financial difficulties, family obligations, and societal expectations for women of her time. Despite these obstacles, she perseveres and enrolls in a graduate program at a nearby university. Throughout the novel, Ruth encounters a variety of characters who both support and challenge her aspirations. She forms close relationships with her fellow students and professors, including a young man named John Cameron who becomes her closest ally and confidante. As Ruth navigates the academic and personal challenges of pursuing a master's degree, she also grapples with larger questions about the role of women in society and the value of education. The novel ultimately celebrates Ruth's determination and intellectual curiosity, while also offering a nuanced portrayal of the complexities of early 20th century American life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
