ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Boston Girl by Anita Diamant is a coming-of-age story about Addie Baum, a Jewish immigrant growing up in the North End of Boston in the early 20th century. Narrated by Addie in her later years, the novel explores her journey of self-discovery, education, and independence. It touches on themes of family, love, loss, and the evolving role of women in society. Through her involvement in the suffrage movement and intellectual circles, Addie challenges traditional gender roles, striving to create her own path amidst the cultural and social changes of her time.
