Review # 1 was written on 2010-02-16 00:00:00 John Hornstein I'm sort of reading this for school. I like it a lot, though Marling has a very chatty style that takes a bit of getting used to.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-02-28 00:00:00 Scott Wheeler Marling takes the debutante rituals from the early 19th century through modern proms and balls. So much money, extravagance, pretense, chauvinism. Such emphasis on beauty. NO footnotes, only an essay on sources. So she has some juicy quotes but none have references.
