Iowa makes the prettiest girlsBy bonnie clarkAs an Iowa girl from Dubuque and about 18 years older than these girls I was pleased that they mirrored my own youth so well. I found the analysis of their relationships and how some felt on the periphery to be interesting. Though I wasn't a college girl in the early 70's; the social changes of legal abortions and feminism affected me also. The difference is that these girls didn't seem to realize how sterotypical roles were for women before the 70's. Why would they? They weren't born until 1962. The need for women friends seems to be universal and timeless. The need for friends that go back to when you were young is important because your parents die and they were the only ones that remembered you as a child unless you have these childhood friends still.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I loved this bookBy Daniel T. BryantI loved this book. I have six grown daughters and purchased a copy for each of them. They in turn have bought copies for friends. The book chronicled their experiences both with one another and with friendships they have maintained.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
