AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Two young women just out of finishing school decide to take a house together and eschew the company of men. They soon grow bored with each other and their time is relieved by the entry of two young men - a brother and a cousin. Humorous anti-feminist piece probably set in Victoria, told through letters and journal entries (with slight reference to "Sense and Sensibility".) (PB).
