"The Precipice (1914) by Elia W. Peattie, who had a career in journalism that included being book editor for many years at the Chicago Tribune, is a "woman's novel." The novel is the story of Kate Barrington, who, at the beginning, has just graduated from the University of Chicago and is on her way back home to Silvertree, Iowa. She is going home to live with her parents once more and she hopes to decide what to do with her life while she is there. That judgment is made plain by the imperious vainglory of her father, a doctor and household dictator. Before long, Kate realizes that she cannot and she will not live in Silvertree."More papers on "The Precipice":
