About the Book

A Girl Doesn't Need To Go To College But... But... But... ... a parody revealing difficult times in the 1950s. BRIEF DESCRIPTION A Girl Doesn't Need To Go To College But... But... But... takes readers back to the 1950s when covert discrimination, economic class lines, lack of accountability in schools, and the expectation for women to play second fiddle to men was the norm. As they would say in the 1950s, "Cowabunga!" Enter a classroom of 6th and 7th graders left unsupervised for the better part of their 1952-53 school year. Experience how "rising above" becomes the mindset for two girls in this class. One, vulnerable and meek-fed up with being bullied-eventually stands up for herself. The other, living in poverty, under the thumb of an abusive stepmother . . . Well, her road to a better life is quite bumpy, but she eventually achieves her goal. FROM WHENCE CAME THE IDEA FOR THIS PARODY IN RHYME? The idea evolved from my love of Dr. Seuss. Nothing like his books existed when I was a child. As a parent, I enjoyed reading his stories not only to my children but to others as well. No one will dispute the fact that Dr. Seuss embedded serious lessons in rhyme. He also made it fun to spew cadence off the tongue. His books are credited with improving many a child's reading skills. WHO IS THIS BOOK FOR? A Girl Doesn't Need To Go To College But... But... But... is for children 10 and older, plus anyone interested in the 1950s. GLOSSARY FOR YOUNG READERS Simple definitions are provided in the Glossary for selected words and 1950's terminology which are underlined in the text. A LOOK BACK at 1950-1980 SOCIAL ISSUES In the AUTHOR COMMENTS section read about the practice of social services housing abused and neglected children, who had NOT broken the law, with those who had broken the law. Sometimes these children were locked up for six months or more. When did violation of their Constitutional Rights end? PRAISE for A Girl Doesn't Need to Go to College But... But... But... "Take one part vocabulary, Two parts history, Three parts poetry, and Four parts compelling autobiography; Add a dash of schoolyard drama and A pinch of personal tragedy . . . The result . . . VIOLÁ! You have Mary Korte's winning formula To derail the downward spiral of poverty- A GOOD EDUCATION! Korte's story illustrates the power of education (and the sheer grit) to end the poverty cycle. It is, in my opinion, an inspiring story to which children can relate." - Michael Beardslee, MA, Educational Programs Manager, HandsOn Greater Phoenix, AZ
About the Author: Mary Korte started her writing career after she turned seventy. Readers praise her 2013 trilogy, KALEIDOSCOPE LODGE, as captivating, engaging, creative, humorous and unusual. In her lifetime, Mary has worn many hats: legal secretary, school secretary, foster parent, foster care homefinder, child welfare social worker, parent education instructor, in-home family therapist, school consultant, director of her own counseling service and here lately, writer. Besides writing, Mary enjoys gardening, clay sculpting and socializing with friends.
