Summary "A City Schoolgirl and Her Friends" by May Baldwin is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two sisters, Stella and Vava Wharton, who face the challenges of life after the death of their father leaves them in financial difficulties. As they move from their rural home in Scotland to the bustling city of London, they must navigate the complexities of a new life, societal expectations, and their evolving identities. At the start of the book, Stella visits Mr. Stacey, their lawyer, to discuss their precarious financial situation, learning they can only expect to live on a limited income. Determined to stay together and support each other, Stella plans to seek work as a secretary, while Vava feels the weight of their new reality. Their conversation reveals their close bond and contrasting personalities—Stella's responsible diligence opposed to Vava's dreaminess. As they prepare for their new life, the sisters experience the emotional turbulence of leaving their childhood home behind, setting a poignant tone as they step into the uncertainties of city life.
