| Summary |
"Betty Wales Decides: A Story for Girls" by Edith K. Dunton is a young adult novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Betty Wales, a bright and resourceful young woman at Harding College, as she navigates the challenges of tutoring a newcomer, Montana Marie O'Toole, who is both an intriguing character and a bit of a handful. The book provides insights into college life, friendship, and personal growth, particularly in the context of female empowerment. At the start of the novel, we find Betty enjoying a quiet afternoon at her family's cottage when she receives some surprising news about a slump in her business involving quirky figurines called ploshkins. This unexpected turn of events compels her to reconsider her plans for the upcoming winter. Shortly thereafter, Betty meets Mrs. O'Toole and her daughter Marie, who arrive with a proposal for Betty to tutor Marie, a girl who clearly stands out due to her unique background and personality. As Betty agrees to mentor Marie, she reflects on her own responsibilities at Harding College and her aspirations, setting the stage for a story rich with humor, friendship, and the ups and downs of collegiate life.
