Overview
"This collection of essays charts the emergence of a searching social consciousness throughout a young woman’s early adulthood. Interweaving the genres of memoir, criticism, and narrative journalism, these seven pieces explore the ad hoc nature of a moral education—from formative encounters with art and literature, to experiences that bring new light to the old maxim, the personal is political. These essays range broadly, taking up feminism's conflicted lessons on the subject of loneliness; the meaning of selflessness, understood through the history of bridal gifts; and the legacy of utopian literature in the era of #MeToo. Together, they trace a feminist awakening that is also a personal process of becoming—of choosing among many possible selves and lives, setting one’s sights for an as-yet unimaginable future." --Abstract.
