She writes about her experiences as a young woman living abroad and the cultural differences she encountered. The final part of the book focuses on Canfield's adult life, including her marriage and family, her career as a writer, and her involvement in social and political causes. She writes about her experiences during World War I, her work with the Red Cross, and her efforts to support women's suffrage and other progressive causes.Throughout the book, Canfield reflects on the changing social and political landscape of the United States during the early 20th century, and she offers insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by women during this time.
