About this book

In an era when women's roles were rigidly defined, "When She Came Home from College" by Marian Hurd McNeely and Jean Bingham Wilson explores the transformative journey of Barbara Grafton, a recent college graduate. As she navigates the expectations of her small Midwestern town, Barbara grapples with her aspirations for literary success and the societal pressures that threaten to confine her. This novel captures the tension between personal ambition and familial duty, highlighting themes of self-discovery and resilience. Ideal for students and civic activists, this poignant narrative offers a compelling look at the struggles faced by women in the early 20th century, making it a vital addition to discussions on gender and empowerment.
