About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
The Eleventh Virgin, though fictional, mirrors Dorothy Day's early life. June Henreddy, the protagonist, navigates life in Greenwich Village's bohemian scene. She embraces radicalism, writing for socialist publications and participating in feminist movements. Entangled in a passionate yet unstable relationship, June faces disillusionment and an unwanted pregnancy. The novel offers a glimpse into the vibrant, yet challenging, world of early 20th-century American radicals, while hinting at a turning point in June's journey, leaving the reader to wonder if she finds meaning beyond the turmoil.
