Emma is a traveling saleswoman for a clothing company, and Jock is a college student. The novel explores the challenges and opportunities that women faced during this time period, including the struggle for independence and the fight for equal rights. Emma and Jock encounter a variety of characters along the way, including other salespeople, businessmen, and love interests. The Girls is a poignant and humorous portrayal of the lives of women in the early 20th century, and remains a classic of American literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About Edna Ferber

Lori Lansens was born and raised in Chatham, Ontario, a small Canadian town with a remarkable history and a collection of eccentric characters. Living with her family in southern California now, she could not resist the pull of her fictitious 'Baldoon County' when she set out to write The Wife's Tale. She took the journey, along with her main character, from Canada to the Pacific Coast of America, where she enjoys the sunshine, and has learned a thing or two about transformation. She has written several screenplays and is the author of two previous novels, The Girls and Rush Home Road.
