Six first-person accounts of girl's lives from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-twentieth century reveal what everyday life was like for girls in a variety of socio-economic circumstances. Underscoring the universalities of feelings and experiences, the girls write about friends, school, family, boys, and other concerns that will resonate with contemporary females. Black-and-white photos illustrate the engaging volume.
