Patty and her two best friends Conny and Priscilla are appalled when they find out they've been separated as roommates for their senior year at Saint Ursula's boarding school. Patty will not let it stand and the girls come up with schemes to go back to rooming with one another. The book follows Conny, Priscilla, Patty and their schoolmates (but mostly Patty) through their senior year. It's a series of vignettes about friendship, mischief and growing up in the early 1900s.
When I downloaded this for my Kindle (it's free on Amazon as part of Project Gutenberg), I had already read Daddy Long-Legs and Dear Enemy. Jean Webster has a pretty sharp sense of humor and writes wonderfully relatable heroines, that put me in mind of L.M. Montgomery (only with some extra snarkiness, versus dreaminess) and her Anne series. I thought about reading When Patty Goes to College first since it was written before this one, but decided to go in chronological order by the actual setting of the book. I normally am not a huge fan of books told in short story/vignette form, but this one really was a pretty good book when it comes down to it.
Patty is an absolute lightning rod for mischief and makes it a habit to deliberately misinterpret things that people say to her or instruct her to do - with mostly hilarious results. The other two girls are in the mischief with her, but Patty is most definitely the ringleader! There were some that were almost entirely humorous, like the incident where Patty and the girls strike for better/more equal treatment in Latin class, and the incident with one of the girls having a fake beau (boyfriend) to hurt another girl's feelings (Patty takes care of that one with some pretty funny antics). But there were also stories like the one where Patty is stuck at school for Christmas and decides to help a lonely and out of place student who feels abandoned have a meaningful holiday. Also, the incident with the prank where Patty accidentally encounters a real burglar and finds him a job when she goes trespassing on a grumpy, reclusive millionaire's property. Patty always means well, even when she's trying to get around doing things that she should (like studying to make up an exam that she misses).
Overall I was impressed with this book and felt like the general tone to it avoided the malicious spirit that books centered around pranks and boarding schools tend to have on occasion (whether by accident or design, things do move in that direction quite often). I am only sorry that Jean Webster died at such a young age, with so much potential to be a classic children's writer in the collective consciousness instead of nearly forgotten, as I feel she is in our present day. Also interesting to note is that Jean Webster was Mark Twain's grandniece. Who knows maybe his famous snark is some of the reason she manages mischief so admirably in her own novels! I highly recommend this one, especially for fans of classic books along the lines of Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, or the Betsy-Tacy series. My only real complaint is that I wish there were more to this book. It felt far too short, especially with the story Webster chose to end on.
VERDICT: 4.5/5 Stars
**No money or favors were exchanged for this review. This book is now available mostly in used bookstores, online, or maybe even at your local library.**?

It's a pleasant novelty to read American schoolgirl stories. I kept thinking I was reading and wondering when it was going to get didactic. But Jean Webster is a way better writer than Susan Coolidge. Very cute lah! And I enjoyed her sharp observations about charity -- how the charitable Christmas gift-giving was more fun for the girls than for the poor kids -- though I wonder whether the ending of the story doesn't kind of fall back into the same trap, of focusing charity on how good it makes the givers feel. But I guess at least they leave the grandparents at home.
Should make note about the weird Irish racism (they have many babies and a peculiar accent!) and classism. It's not too bad considering her era, but still.

“Just Patty” is a collection of short stories about Patty and her school friends at boarding school. The first story sets the scene, introducing Patty and her two best friends, as well as the teachers and other pupils who we get to know better in later stories.
I’m an unashamed fan of old-style school stories, but haven’t read many with American settings. ”Just Patty” is set at St Ursula’s, a “church school” for – and I’m reading in between the lines here – daughters of the more privileged classes. There was talk of dancing dresses for the evening, games of blindman’s bluff and hoop-rolling, and singing school songs – I’m not sure how typical this was of the times, but I enjoyed this peek at a bygone era.
Patty’s impetuous or “exhilarating” nature is possibly over-emphasised at times, but overall, I thought these were a set of genuinely charming stories. My favourites were probably the two loosely-linked ones: when Patty decides to make the most of some “unexpected” free time and explores the grounds of a irascible millionaire – outcome predictable, but fun all the same – and a hilarious one about a failed midnight prank and a burglar, which ends on a sweet and uplifting note.

Oh, oh, ohhhhh!
Best bookstore find of 2016, hands down. I love and and so finding another book by Jean Webster was the ultimate treat. This one isn't in epistolary style, like those two, which made it feel very familiar and yet strikingly different.
Patty and her friends get into all sorts of mischief and shenanigans as they complete their final year at their private boarding school. The environment and tone reminded me some of but it is less morally smug and more fun. I squealed in delight when a Pendleton showed up. Awkward age gap but dare I wish there was more of that?
Such fun. I highly recommend this one.

Buku ini asiiiikkk bangetttt!!! Menceritakan 'kenakalan' dan juga persahabatan Patty, Conny, Priscilia, dan semua teman asramanya di sekolah putri St. Ursula. Aku kira buku ini bakalan nyambung terus critanya dari bab 1 smpe selesai. Ternyata beda bab, konfliknya juga beda. Jadi makin asikkk sih, gak monoton.
Narasinya enak, gak bertele2 dan ngebosenin kayak buku klasik yg lain. Walaupun buku ini terbit tahun 1911, gak kerasa 'tua' nya?
Abis baca ini tuh jadi pengen balik sekolah lagi. Tinggal di asrama bareng temen2 cewek asik banget kayaknya:'))))

La giovane Patty Wyatt è una studentessa del St. Ursula's, un collegio religioso per ragazze dell'alta borghesia. In questa serie di racconti del St. Ursula's/Sant' Orsola, Patty e le sue amiche provocano un' affascinante sequenza di caos e gherminelle nella scuola e tra gli avventori che in essa convergono. Conosciuta in Italia da molti quasi esclusivamente per "Papà Gambalunga", Jean Webster è nota per presentare spesso al lettore giovani protagoniste vivaci e simpatiche sulla via della maggiore età -sia intellettualmente- che moralmente e socialmente, con umorismo, dialoghi vivaci e commenti delicatamente pungenti. Talento non di poco conto, capace di rendere i suoi libri appetibili e divertenti anche adesso per i lettori contemporanei. "Just Patty" è edito in Italia anche come "Le tre ragazze americane".

Published before her most famous book, , and boy does it show. There's no "plot" here, no storyline at all. It's just a bunch of vignettes that seem thrown together. Webster doesn't even bother to tell us what her main characters look like in the first chapter--little by little their appearance etc is revealed. What's worse is that there is absolutely no world-building. It's like talking to a preteen who just naturally assumes that you know what their school is like, who their teachers are when she refers to them in passing, and all about who she is and where she comes from. I felt like I walked into a movie halfway through, and spent a lot of time going "Wait, what?" in the first couple of chapters.
There's a definite odour of in the first couple of chapters, but again--we get no classroom scenes, little real detail of their interaction with adults--it's all taken as read that we know all about it. Webster sets the story in a boarding school for privileged girls (well, there isn't any other kind, is there?) where the girls are taught etiquette as well as Latin, and the emphasis is on "womanly women".
I was mildly disappointed. Two and a half stars.

This book tells about a girl named Patty who lives in a dormitory. she and both her friends, Connie and Priscilla always make a shocking act of boarding or their school. because of their misbehavior, Patty and her friends Connie and Priscilla has a bad reputation as a wayward girls in the boarding school St. Ursula, USA. But his unique, they also are smart girls. even though their teacher named Miss Lord separated them by separating their rooms, they can still come together by taking unique and hilarious ways. thus, they can continue their mischief. This classic novel set in early 20th century's time. so that readers know the classic atmosphere of the century.
The excess of this book is a book written in the early 20th century, so we can know and learn their culture. This book is also very entertaining, because it tells the adventures of a young girl who is very mischievous, kocah but also very intelligent.
And the less of this book is a translation of the novel, so there are few languages ??that are less fit for the present.

Adorable and diverting boarding school story from 1911. Instead of having an overall plot, this book is a series of funny incidents in the lives of the girls.

charming little collection of early-1900 stories set at a girls' boarding school
April 10, 2023
Novel ini menceritakan ttg Patty, siswi senior di SMU. Patty ini biang onar tapi sbnrnya hatinya baik sekali. Tipe pemimpin yg memulai kegaduhan di asrama tapi sekaligus penyemarak suasana jg.
Bagi saya sih novel ini lumayan, membuat saya tahu kira? model bgmn sih asrama putri di awal abad 20. Hormon remaja putri zaman dulu jg gak beda jauh dgn zaman now, dgn pemikiran galau ttg pria atau "mengapa aku tidak cantik/menarik".
Well, Patty memang bnyk akal bulusnya tetapi sangat solutif walau cenderung kurang ajar. Patty tipe dominan, dialah yg memimpin bukan mengikuti. Kalau kalian menginginkan teman utk berpetualang, type spt Patty ini sangat cocok. Salah satu teman Patty yg menonjol adalah yg dijuluki "Kid" krn mirip? Patty, extrovert dan tomboy. Nanti saya mau lanjut baca sequel buku ini.

Patty is cheeky and outgoing, a good girl in her last year of high school
November 27, 2012
I thoroughly enjoyed author 's charming book about a plucky and pert orphan who makes good as a scholarship student at a college. Was it a little bit dated? Sure, but the novel's heroine Judy Abbott was so good-hearted and realistically saucy and impulsive that I couldn't help but love the book.
Just as delightful is Webster’s Just Patty, which deals with the adventures of Patty Wyatt, a spirited -- her teachers would say impudent -- but kind-hearted high school senior at St. Ursula's boarding school. Patty is enthusiastic and creative to a fault. Patty's a natural-born leader and, with her bosom friends Conny [sic] and Priscilla, she’s able to set a number of situations right at St. Ursula's, including putting the kibosh to a fake romance, striking for better conditions in Latin class, Neither Patty nor her friends fulfill the stereotype of simpering, fluffy-headed ninnies so prevalent before suffrage and the feminist revolution. Despite some spirited hijinks, it's hard not to like Patty! She’s so natural and open; she’s impudent but never cheeky.
You’ll also be struck by just how onerous a classical education is: geometry, French, French history, Latin, sociology, history, rhetoric, dancing, deportment, dramatics, English composition, English grammar, drawing, current events training, and more.
The novel, first published in 1911, is considerably less saccharine than its contemporaries, and modern readers will enjoy its rosy take on girlhood at the opening of the 20th century. With so many books focusing on dysfunctional teenage upbringings, Just Patty, with its idyllic view from St. Ursula, provides a nice, cheery change of pace.

So I've just finished back-to-back novels about two girls named Patty: Jean Webster's Patty Wyatt and Patty Fairfield by Carolyn Wells. Both come from the school of pre-WW1 American girl fiction, and both are charming, but I have to say I enjoyed Jean Webster's story far more than Caroline Wells'. Both Patties have looks, breeding, and brains, but while Wells's Patty happily remains a girl of the patriarchy, Webster's shows some spirit and humor. This more lively Patty toys with clueless members of the patriarchy, takes on "Lady Bountiful" charity and tries to improve upon it, and even stages a worker's strike in support of a struggling classmate. Dated? You bet, but still an enjoyable read.

Another curiously modern book from the turn of the century author, Jean Webster. The plot revolves around a lively girl Patty and her friends who have a variety of adventures at their girls' boarding school. Each chapter adds to the loosely linked chain, in much the same way as the continuing episodes of a television show!
This book was also studied by the girls of the teen series, "Mother and Daughter Book Club". You would think it would be earier to obtain it, but I had to Interlibrary Loan an antique copy from Kansas.

Boarding school, but not British. Frivolous Patty and her friends Conny and Priscilla make an impression on their boarding school. Patty is intended to seem fun-loving and playful, but sometimes (at least from the perspective of a long time librarian and teacher) she just comes off as annoying. A disappointment after the inimitable _Daddy Long Legs_ and the winning _Dear Enemy_, but a fun story about a time long gone by--in fact it probably never existed.

Selama ini Jean Webster lebih dikenal dengan novelnya "Daddy-Long-Legs" (DDL). Padahal selain itu Webster menulis 7 novel lainnya (setahu saya), salah satunya "Just Patty" yang ditulis tahun 1911, dan tak kalah menarik dengan DDL.
Kagum deh sama Webster, membaca karyanya seperti bukan karya yang ditulis hampir 100 tahun lalu. Karakter Patty yang cerdas, ceria, dan iseng abis, bikin saya gemes.

As always, Jean Webster is an utter delight. I gave it four stars instead of five because there's not really any semblance of a plot, but it's still a really fun, giggle-worthy read. Check out my full review at .

Enjoyed Daddy Longlegs by this author. But, Patty, a girl of 17 or 18, at boarding school being what would be considered a bully these days, just not my thing. And no matter how much trouble she got herself into, she was always forgiven because she was just so darn feisty and adorable. Yuck.

I meant to read this one slowly. But once I started, I just went all the way through!

Delightful.
