This is a book report on "The Girl." Meridel's novel, The Girl is a story that strikes many chords. A story that makes a statement that can be heard just as loudly today as it was yesterday in 1978 when first written. Clara is a woman that represents all women, the weaker side in a society that preys on just that. The Girl is a woman who represents all us all, too; she is the stronger, more proactive side in the face of anything. Both of these women are making peace with their pasts and their future. The summary of this story is the most present in the lines.
