The narrative follows Eileen, a precocious girl navigating the challenges of being smart and female in 1960s upstate New York. Her journey unfolds from a restrictive rural high school to Yale, highlighting societal expectations and gender biases she faces, including being overlooked in advanced courses and later, in her marriage. Through autobiographical essays, Pollack employs humor to explore themes of inequality, human connection, and resilience, ultimately portraying her ongoing quest for love and acceptance in a world slowly evolving towards equality.
