- Synopsis
- Bright Promise is set during the 1830s at the start of the Industrial Revolution in America. Young women, restless to see more of the world and dissatisfied with the traditional woman's role, were being weaned away from home toward mill towns that promised social and intellectual freedom. Rhoda Bennett joins the ranks of the "new" girls, partly to escape an unwanted marriage, partly to help her brother finance his Harvard education, and partly to fill her own need for knowledge.
