Book Synopsis
An American Girl, and Her Four Years in a Boys' College, written by one of the first women graduates, is a historical novel about a young woman's challenges as a member of the first coeducational class at a major university in 1870, the University of Michigan admitted its first woman student.

Trade Review
Anderson's book makes clear that the 1870s were an important moment of debate over women's roles and responsibilities. What's here is very interesting not only about higher education, and 'strong-minded women,' but about religion, domesticity, independence, marriage, and homosocial bonding. This book will resonate with undergraduates both for what is familiar and what is unfamiliar. - Carol Lasser, Oberlin College
