"College Girls" by Abbe Carter Goodloe is a story set in the late 1800s about young women navigating college life, a time when society's views on women's education were shifting. The book focuses on themes of beauty, dreams, and what society expects from women, mostly through the lives of Miss Ronald and the mysterious Miss Meredith. The story begins at a fun sleighing party where the girls chat about college and the Harvard boys, showing everyone Miss Ronald's room full of her college achievements.
