From Georgian England and Edith Wharton's New York to the
contemporary International Debutante Ball, the presentation of
young women into society has persisted. In this "sharply observed"
(The New Yorker) exploration of the debutante ritual, Kristen
Richardson uncovers its extensive cultural influence in Britain and
the United States, how daughters in these countries have come to
marry, and the ritual's spread around the world-reaching France,
Russia and China. The Season gives voice to an array of complex
feelings about being put on display, and about what these women's
futures in society might be.
