The Season: A Social History of the Debutante by Kristen Richardson

In this enthralling history of the debutante ritual, Richardson sheds new light on contemporary ideas about women and marriage. While Richardson came from a family of debutantes, she chose not to debut. But as her curiosity drove her to research this enduring custom, she learned that it, and debutantes, are not as simple as they seem.
