so, i finally got around to reading commencement, which has apparently become a must-read amongst woman’s college grads. (oh, hey, remember when my college was single sex? good times….)
the first 2/3rds of the book was fantastic - a true-to-life depiction of the strange but wonderful world of woman’s colleges and the intense but fulfilling friendships that are borne out of such. it also had a soapy-in-a-good-way look at those first few fragile years out of college, something that hit close to home for me.
BUT the last 1/3rd of this book was truly the worst. i’m not sure how many radical feminists j. courtney sullivan knows (as a smithie grad, one would assume a fair amount) but the novel’s twist just seemed to be an unrealistic exploration of the very serious issues of prostitution and sexual exploitation. plus the cloying third-act pregnancy “hijinks” were enough to make me want to stab my eye out.
my recommendation? read it but don’t finish it.

Women’s colleges are standouts by the Washington Monthly criteria, with four among the top 10.
makes me le sad. where was all this good press for women’s colleges when r-mwc was going co-ed?

"Our college is a place of bricks and mortar, yet she lives on inside each one of us. She has made us powerful, intelligent, caring, spunky, passionate and tenacious. She has made all of us Macon women."
jackie’s address to the graduating class of 2009 of my alma mater.
this makes my heart smile.
