Book
The Boston girl : a novel / Anita Diamant.
Addie Baum is the Boston Girl, born in 1900 to immigrant parents who were unprepared for and suspicious of America and its effects on their three daughters. Addie's intelligence and curiosity take her to a world her parents can't imagine-a world of short skirts, movies, celebrity culture, and new opportunities for women finish high school, go to college, have a career, and find true love on their own. The Boston Girl begins when Addie's twenty-two-year-old granddaughter asks "How did you get to be the woman you are today?" Eighty-five-year-old Addie starts her story in 1915-the year she joined the library group for girls at a neighborhood settlement house, where she found her voice and made friends who would help shape the course of her life. Addie recalls her adventures with compassion for the naïve girl she was, empathy for the woman she has become, and a wicked sense of humor. --[Book Jacket].
