About this audiobook
Patty Wyatt is clever, independent, and perfectly capable of succeeding in college—provided success does not require following every rule.
In her final year at an all-women’s college, Patty approaches campus life with quick wit, boundless confidence, and a remarkable talent for avoiding unnecessary work. Whether she is rearranging her room without permission, outmaneuvering college officials, organizing elaborate pranks, or talking her way out of trouble, Patty keeps her friends—and the faculty—constantly guessing.
Yet beneath the mischief is a generous spirit. When a lonely freshman struggles to adjust, Patty puts her ingenuity to better use, proving that she is as loyal and compassionate as she is rebellious. A chance conversation with a visiting bishop eventually forces her to confront the difference between cleverness and responsibility—and to consider the woman she wants to become after graduation.
First published in 1903, When Patty Went to College is a warm, witty portrait of women’s college life at the turn of the twentieth century. Filled with spirited friendships, academic escapades, and gentle social observation, Jean Webster’s debut novel is an entertaining coming-of-age classic about growing up without surrendering one’s individuality.
