In "Dear Enemy," Jean Webster crafts an epistolary novel that explores the transformative journey of Judy Abbott, a spirited young woman who has outgrown the orphanage that raised her. Written in a lively and engaging style, the book unfolds through a series of letters exchanged between Judy and her mentor, the wealthy and philanthropic Mr. J. Elfreda, as she takes on the challenging role of managing the orphanage herself. This narrative form not only offers readers an intimate glimpse into Judy's thoughts but also highlights themes of social reform, maturation, and the importance of community within the broader context of early 20th-century American literature, a period marked by increasing interest in social justice and women's autonomy. Jean Webster, an influential author of her time, drew upon her own experiences growing up in an orphanage to create Judy's character and her heartfelt mission. Raised in a well-connected family, Webster was heavily influenced by social reform movements of her time, especially as they related to the rights and education of women and children. This background infused her writing with a sense of authenticity and urgency, allowing her to tackle...

Daddy Long-Legs is a 1912 novel by an American writer Jean Webster. It follows the protagonist, a young girl named Jerusha "Judy" Abbott, through her college years. She writes the letters to her benefactor, a rich man whom she has never seen. The themes of this book reflect upon Webster's interests in social work and women's suffrage. Some scholars have criticized Daddy-Long-Legs as being an "anti-feminist fairy tale", while others have argued that Judy shows growing independence, including increasing disobedience to her benefactor and his wishes, and indeed succeeds in educating Daddy-Long-Legs that he cannot control her, and that his socialism needs to move from the academic into real life.Dear Enemy is the sequel to Jean Webster's novel Daddy-Long-Legs. Dear Enemy shows how Sallie McBride grows from a frivolous socialite to a mature woman and an able executive.

Dear Enemy is the sequel to Jean Webster's novel Daddy-Long-Legs. First published in 1915, it was among the top ten best sellers in the US in 1916.[1] The story is presented in a series of letters written by Sallie McBride, Judy Abbott's classmate and best friend in Daddy-Long-Legs. Among the recipients of the letters are Judy; Jervis Pendleton, Judy's husband and the president of the orphanage where Sallie is filling in until a new superintendent can be installed; Gordon Hallock, a wealthy Congressman and Sallie's later fiancé; and the orphanage's doctor, embittered Scotsman Robin 'Sandy' MacRae (to whom Sallie addresses her letters: "Dear Enemy"). Webster employs the epistolary structure to good effect; Sallie's choices of what to recount to each of her correspondents reveal a lot about her relationships with them.

Your letter is here. I have read it twice, and with amazement. Do I understand that Jervis has given you, for a Christmas present, the making over of the John Grier Home into a model institution, and that you have chosen me to disburse the money? Me-I, Sallie McBride, the head of an orphan asylum! My poor people, have you lost your senses, or have you become addicted to the use of opium, and is this the raving of two fevered imaginations? I am exactly as well fitted to take care of one hundred children as to become the curator of a zoo.

Jean Webster was the pseudonym of Alice Jane Chandler Webster (1876-1916), an American writer whose best-known books tell the stories of young and likeable female protagonists as they come of age intellectually, morally, and socially, combining humour, witty dialogue, and gently biting social commentary. In 1897 she entered Vassar College where a course in welfare and penal reform led to an interest in social issues that would last throughout her life. Her experiences at Vassar provided material for her first novel When Patty Went to College (1903) in which she described contemporary women's college life. On a trip to Europe Webster befriended fellow American Ethelyn McKinney, and later began an affair with Ethelyn's married brother, Glenn Ford McKinney, who she eventually married after his divorce in 1915. Just Patty, a prequel to her first novel, was published in 1911, after which came her greatest success, Daddy-Long-Legs (1912), an epistolary novel about an orphan, Judy (formerly Jerusha) Abbott, whose attendance at a women's college is funded by an anonymous benefactor. Webster adapted the book into a play which was equally successful. The sequel, Dear Enemy (1915), also...
