Folded into this review of a popular novel is this reference to a fictional ֲý program: “During a summer enrichment program at ֲý College, a young Jane takes a seminar called “Early Women Writers,” whose subject serves almost as a mise-en-abyme for the book and inspires her career choices.

By doing so, they endured.”
