The country is at war. Your boyfriend is about to be taken for the draft. Sent far away to an unknown country, Vietnam. The government is heedless of protest.

I am seventeen years old. Newly arrived at smart Wellesley College. It is 1966, the eve of a convulsive time. Hillary Clinton lives across the hall. Henry Kissinger and John Kenneth Galbraith are teaching at nearby Harvard. I am in a crucible of clever young women, demure, conservative and gently-reared; a tiny and elite minority of girls. Back then a mere 7.4% of women went to university. We are coming of age in a place where birth control for single women is illegal.
