McCarthy's 1963 novel follows eight Vassar women from the class of 1933, her own class, through bad marriages and worse advice. It spent nearly two years on the New York Times bestseller list. Betty went to Bryn Mawr, so this is one Seven Sisters graduate reading about eight others and recognizing every husband.
