More Details
Fifteen-year-old Bethea, the fatherless daughter of an Ohio minister's family, takes a daring step a hundred years ago, when she decides to attend a seminary for teachers. Her family reluctantly allows her to enter Western Seminary--a progressive school for its time-- where she and her schoolmates defy convention by studying serious academic subjects. Her adjustment to school, her roommates, and romance make an adequate framework for this book, the chief interest of which is its convincing portrayal of mid-western life at the time, and the particular problems which then faced intellectual young ladies.
