Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden

2.0

---

I kept putting this down and picking it back up again, and when I finally took it back to the library, I wasn't sorry. The story itself was really interesting: 2 New England society girls (graduates of Smith College) go west to teach school in the late 1910s/early 1920s, and the book is written by the granddaughter (or great g) of one of the main characters, so she has lots of info to back up her tale. But she takes too long to get to the meat of the story, meandering to Europe, a description of coal mining, et cetera. It just didn't hold my interest.
