They
About This Novel
A classic novel that influenced a generation of women, the book that inspired "Sex and the City". Kay, Dottie, Polly, Helena, Libby, Price, Brooke, and Leckie, eight girls in their early twenties, have just graduated from Vassar College, a well-known American girls' school. As well-educated young women who consider themselves to be the latest trends, they are all full of ideals and enthusiasm. They are not willing to be nameless housewives like their mothers, and they want to make a name for themselves in the city of New York through their own efforts. However, when they step out of school, they are overwhelmed by all kinds of real-life problems: love affairs are a mystery, husbands are cheating, workplace hardships, parenting confusion, and same-sex comparisons. They thought they could change the world, but found that society left them with very few choices. In this book, the author McCarthy sharply and comprehensively analyzes the various plights of modern women. It seems cold and ruthless, but it speaks directly to people's hearts. Perhaps we and they live in different times and environments, but we face very similar choices. They are us. What is female power? "Them" may give you the answer.
