First sentence: Early twentieth-century women, particluarly those of the middle class, had grown up in a society where love between young females was considered the norm, "a rehearsal in girlhood of the great drama of woman's life," where women's love for one another was thought to "constitute the richness, consolation, and joy of their lives."
