Laura Snow was a junior in high school. She was a nice girl with glowing eyes. She also loved this boy in high school named Peter Grange. He went out with her for a while, but in pity. Her parents were divorced, and she lived with her mother in the town of Modesta. Although everyone liked her, she hated herself. She thought of herself as "a 160-pound lump with a bust that looked like twin watermelons and a rear that looked like twin something-elses" (13).
Jane Rheardon had a "delicate, porcelain feature and incredible corn-silk hair" (22). Her father called her chicken fluff because of her hair. She was smart and got straight A 's. Her mom was also in the Daughters of Eve. She would twitch a lot when she was nervous. That was only because her mom and dad argued too much, and her dad would hit her mother. Now, Jane is a patient at the state mental hospital.
Fran Schneider is the president of the Daughters of Eve. She was small figured with a narrow face. She had a long pointed nose, and nearsighted eyes.

Three years after high school she became a "first semester senior at the University of Michigan at Ann Harbor, Working towards a bachelor of science degree in biochemistry"(265).
