Memoirs of an ExProm Queen

Being female in America-how it really is- is told straight at last in this bitterly funny, brilliantly on-target novel that follows one American Girl through the rites of her tribe (middle-class, white) as she gets the message: Be beautiful. Marry young. Produce sparkling, photogenic children...... Here, however, is Sasha Davis.

While the book is set in the 1950s and early 1960s, the author's observations about womanhood, beauty, and the relationships between men and women are timeless.

This is a novel from the early days of the feminist movement, first published in 1969-70. It's a lot of fun to read, and though I read it long ago, I remember liking it a lot; it's very perceptive about a young woman's feelings and relationships in that era.
