The Queen also would have Georgie be a lady-in-waiting to the last living daughter of Queen Victoria, an extremely elderly woman who doesn't get out much lately. Georgie doesn't want any of that, especially since the Queen wants her married to Prince Siegmund of Romania who Georgie and her friends called Fishface. Unfortunately, the only thing she has been trained for is how to make a fine hostess and wife – or be a lady-in-waiting to the first line of royals. So being a women of the new age after the First World War, Georgie moves off to the deserted family house in London, sans staff or anything, and is determined to make her own way in the world. Georgie was then cut from any money there might be by her half-brother Binky, as he states that there really are not any extra funds available for her. It all has to do with the terrible depression going on, and that her father, before he died, managed to gamble most of the family money away. Even though Georgie is royalty, 34th in line to the British throne, her family coffers are empty. Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie, known as Georgie, is a modern woman of the 1930s. Parts of the story may have been derived from the capture and death of Jane McCrea in July 1777 near Fort Edward, New York, by members of an Algonquian tribe. This story is set in the British province of New York during the French and Indian War, and concerns a Huron massacre (with passive French acquiescence) of from 500 to 1,500 unarmed Anglo-American troops, who had honorably surrendered at Fort William Henry, plus some women and servants the kidnapping of two sisters, daughters of the British commander and their rescue by Hawkeye, the last two Mohicans, and others.

Now, in "Cinderella Ate My Daughter," we see Orenstein at her genre-busting best - and our culture's warped commercialization of girlhood at its worst. In "Flux" (2000), Orenstein interwove her own, 34-year-old Big Life Questions (whether or not to have a child, and how doing so might affect her career, her marriage, her self) with those of the 200 women she interviewed on the subject of "living in a half-changed world." For "Schoolgirls" (1994), Orenstein went back to eighth grade, from which she issued a prescient assessment of the self-doubt that plagues adolescent girls. In "Waiting for Daisy" (2007), she created not only the world's longest subtitle, but also the world's most encompassing, intelligent and moving memoir of infertility. In her essays for the New York Times Magazine (for which she wrote "What's Wrong With Cinderella?," the 2006 piece that went viral, spawning this book), and in her three previous works of nonfiction, Orenstein consistently brings an opinionated, yet sensible sensibility to the hottest-button questions of contemporary feminism. And, as you might have surmised, I'm an unapologetic admirer of Orenstein's work. Berkeley author Peggy Orenstein is an unapologetically passionate critic of the marketing onslaught she skewers so stunningly in her latest and most masterful book.
