The Girls is a novel written by American author Edna Ferber and first published in 1921. The story revolves around the lives of two young women, Emma McChesney and her daughter, Jock. Emma is a widowed traveling saleswoman who sells Featherloom petticoats across the Midwest, while Jock is a college student who dreams of becoming a writer. The novel is set in the early 20th century and explores themes of femininity, independence, and the changing role of women in society. Through Emma's experiences as a working mother and Jock's struggles to find her own path, Ferber offers a nuanced portrayal of the challenges and opportunities facing women during this time period. The Girls is a character-driven novel that delves into the complex relationships between mothers and daughters, as well as the bonds of friendship and the power of self-discovery. With its vivid descriptions of small-town America and its witty dialogue, the novel offers a charming and insightful portrait of a bygone era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
