The Girl From Arizona is a novel written by Nina Rhoades, first published in 1913. The story is set in the early 1900s and follows the life of a young woman named Ruth, who is from Arizona. Ruth is a strong-willed and independent woman, who is determined to make a life for herself despite the challenges she faces. The novel begins with Ruth’s childhood in Arizona, where she grows up in a mining town. Her father is a miner and her mother is a homemaker. Ruth’s parents are loving but strict, and they want her to marry a wealthy man and settle down. However, Ruth has other plans. She dreams of going to college and becoming a teacher. As a young adult, Ruth leaves Arizona and moves to California to attend college. She works hard and excels in her studies, but she also faces discrimination and prejudice because of her background. Despite these challenges, Ruth perseveres and graduates with honors. After college, Ruth becomes a teacher and moves to a small town in California. She falls in love with a local man, but their relationship is complicated by social and economic differences. Ruth also becomes involved in local politics and fights for the rights of workers and immigrants. The Girl From Arizona is a story of resilience, determination, and the pursuit of one’s dreams. It explores themes of class, race, and gender, and provides a glimpse into the social and political climate of the early 1900s.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
