Summary "A Pair of Schoolgirls: A Story of School Days" by Angela Brazil is a fictional narrative set in the late 19th century, focusing on the experiences of schoolgirls at a day college. The story revolves around the character Dorothy Greenfield, who is eager to take part in the school elections and is navigating her social position and friendships within the school environment. The book likely explores themes of friendship, ambition, rivalry, and the challenges of growing up within a school community. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Avondale College on the first day of the autumn term. The excitement is palpable as the students gather to hear about the upcoming election for the "Warden of the Lower School." Dorothy, one of the candidates, is filled with hopes for the position, setting the stage for her ambitions and the competitive atmosphere among her peers. As she canvasses for votes, we learn about her personality, including her determination and pride, as well as her complex feelings of self-worth related to her unknown family background. Dorothy’s character is quickly established as she engages with her classmates, experiences rivalry with others, and faces the reality of both friendship and social standing in her quest for acceptance and recognition within the school.
