Jennie McGrady

Jennie McGrady is the central figure in Patricia H. Rushford’s series of historical novels, set in the 1920s and 30s. The stories, told through Jennie’s diary entries, explore the lives of young women navigating the complexities of post-war America and the rise of jazz music with a candid and often darkly humorous tone. Jennie's sharp observations and unconventional spirit make her a compelling and surprisingly modern voice within the context of the era.
