Debutantes and the London Season by Lucinda Gosling
Until the middle of the last century, London's social calendar was dominated by 'the Season', a round of social events and parties during which the daughters of the upper classes made their 'debuts'. This title offers spotlight at a phenomenon that was central to the lives of generations of privileged young ladies.
