I really enjoyed this. Obvious point to make is that this is considered a pro-feminism story and yet the highest aspirations of the protagonist are to become a typist -- and the climax of her story is still a marriage. But still a very enjoyable, interesting read.

It's cool that it was "newly unearthed" and that it shows her thinking at a young age. I've always enjoyed the writings of her contemporary, Ernest Hemingway. If you haven't already done so, check out The Nick Adams Stories, it's some of Hemingway's earliest writing. We have a copy in my families cabin in Morthern Michigan. I tend to read every other year or so while I'm up there as much if the stories take place in Northern Michigan and the landmarks are familiar.

It's interesting to read such talented writers work when they were still so new to it.
