The Coquette (Oxford Paperbacks)
"This novel captures very well the dilemma of late 18th-Century American women.  Despite their own misgivings about reading a novel of this sort students became caught up in Eliza Wharton's plight and quickly understood the forces at work in her life.  It makes a great text for class discussions."--Sonya Michel,University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
