The Girls Who Went Away

  • Fessler, Ann

This is the true story of “sex and the single girl” in the post-World War II years–a story not of carefree sexual liberation, but rather of a devastating double standard that had punishing long-term effects on millions of American women who were told they had no choice but to give up their children.
The vast majority of women Fessler interviewed were given no option but to surrender, and every single one of them has been haunted by the loss of her child for the rest of her life.
