Summary
Sarah McBride Anderson is best known for her work as a suffragette and later as the Representative of Massachusetts' 5th Congressional District, where she served from 1925-1937 (the first woman to represent Massachusetts, and the seventh woman in the US House of Representatives). Less well known is her lifelong friendship with J.A. Pendleton, the celebrated novelist and Pulitzer Prize winner. The two women met at college, where they roomed together. Although the correspondence between the two women after their college years has been published, these letters (excerpted from Anderson's letters home to her family during their college years) have not, and provide a fascinating glimpse into their friendship.

Bookmark Notes:
A really wonderful addition to the book that enhances all the original themes while giving a different perspective. Sally and Judy are just as likeable through this retelling and Sally's voice is captivating. And even though I personally have a soft spot for thr Jervis/Judy romance, I can also appreciate this alternate perspective and thr valid concerns.
