The Boston Girl begins when Addie Baum’s twenty-two-year-old granddaughter asks, ‘How did you get to be the woman you are today?’ Eighty-five-year-old Addie starts her story in 1915 - the year she joined the library group for girls, where she found her voice and made friends, who would help shape the course of her life. Addie’s intelligence and curiosity take her to a world her parents can’t imagine - a world of short skirts, movies, celebrity culture and new opportunities for women.
