Download Post Grad: Five Women and Their First Year out of College AudioBook Free
An honest and deeply reported accounts of five women and the opportunities and frustrations they face in the year following their graduation from at the very top university or college. Recent Princeton graduate Caroline Kitchener weaves collectively her experience from her first year after college with those of four of her peers in order to delve deeper into what the world now offers feminine college graduates and the way the world perceives them. Each one of the five ladies in this diverse group was likely to attend college - but most got no clear prospects for their futures postgraduation. As Kitchener employs each person in the group, it becomes harder to reduce those to stereotypes, harder either to defend or to judge their choices. Kitchener navigates expertly between the very personal and the wider sociological perspectives as she outlines a chronological year in the lives of all five women, illuminating and clarifying each one of their choices, victories, and foibles. Both a broad and an intensely individual exploration, Post Grad is a family portrait of the moving environment of that important year after graduation as well as an intimate look at how a select group of very different individuals deals with its obstacles - navigating family tensions, interactions, jobs, and this ever-elusive notion of independence.
