Vanessa is a new girl in school. She is beautiful, smart, and every boy in school is after her. Born in the United Kingdom to immigrant parents, she decides to join one of the top high schools within the country. She soon becomes the attraction of every boy in school, dethroning Esta, who previously held the title. She creates rivalry with Esta after dating her boyfriend, Joel. Arthur is a student in the literature class. He is Joels best friend and the most unpopular boy in school with the most popular friend in school. Soon Vanessa starts to get attracted to Arthur after getting to know him. When she breaks up with Joel, he is so mad that he gets his best friend expelled from school. With Arthur gone, he gets back with Vanessa, who is so in love with Arthur even after he is expelled. Esta suspects the reason Joel got his friend expelled from school is far from Vanessa, and she is determined to find the reason as Arthur is her friend. Arthur finds a new school and promises himself that what happened to him will not go unpaid. He will go back and find out who set him up and pay back.

Women have been consistently excluded from all manner of clubs and associations over the years, whether as the direct result of an anti-woman policy or indirectly through prohibitive entry requirements, social constraints, or conflict of interests and tastes. Retaliation from women has taken two directions: some women have set up their own exclusive clubs that reflect their own interests and aims, while others have taken on the men and striven to break down resistance to their joining ‘men’s’ clubs on an equal footing. This book traces the development of the current situation, drawing from a wide range of sources, some of which have never been published before. Looking at the different types of clubs and associations that include women and girls from the WI to the Girl Guides, this book is a rich social history full of fascinating observations and stories, and will be absorbing reading for anyone interested in sociology, women’s history or the transformation of Britain’s social life.

Isaac Bashevis Singer brought the vibrant milieu of pre-Holocaust Polish Jewry to the English-speaking world through his subtle psychological insight, deep sympathy for the eccentricities of Jewish folk custom, and unerring feel for the heroism of everyday life. His novels, including The Family Moskat and Enemies: A Love Story, and his short stories, such as "Yentl" and "Gimpel the Fool," prove him a consummate storyteller and probably the greatest Yiddish writer of the twentieth century.
