“An engaging female protagonist confronts social issues that are unfortunately still relevant.” —Kirkus Reviews

When faced with the inequities of college life for women in 1965, first-generation college student Ramona Bronson must decide whether she's willing to risk her education for the possibility of better.

As fall term begins, Ramona is reassigned to the night shift waitressing at Dusty's Drive-In, which closes after the female-only campus curfew. Panicked because she needs her job to pay tuition, Ramona petitions to appeal the curfew on the advice of her friend Dimitri. When rejected by the dean, citing "safety concerns" for female students, Ramona turns to Dimitri's older brother, Theo, a leader in the campus anti-war movement, for help.

Exposure to the world of activism through new friends, who become family, reveals that the curfew is one of countless unfair expectations of women on campus—and Ramona's petition is only the beginning. She soon learns that the line between right and wrong isn’t always clear and must decide how far she’ll go to break down an unfair system.

A Future of Her Own will inspire the righteous, rebellious spirit in us all.
