Superior Women: A Novel by Alice Adams

melissadeemcdaniel's review

3.0

This is a reprint of a book first published in 1984. Alice Adams tells the story of four women who meet at Radcliffe and whose lives continue to intersect over the following decades. The women are all intelligent, “superior” women, whose ambitions when they leave for college are wide-ranging for their time (post WW II in the 40’s). This book read well for me as a historical novel, with its insights into the values and mores expected of women in this time.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
