Debutante: Rites and Regalia of American Debdom Hardcover - 2004
by Karal Ann Marling
The social debut and its offshoots--the high school prom, the sorority presentation, beauty pageants--continue to emphasize celebrity, class, and community. But why does this peculiar tradition persist? In "Debutante," Marling demystifies debdom and the "long-term American hankering after the trappings of royalty."
First line
"I want to become a debutante," writes a cyber-society girl.
