These are, as their titles make clear, stories about a woman pursuing a career - one of those that were readily open to women in the 1930s Boylston didn't challenge her publisher by writing about a woman doctor. Boylston returned to the subject and the character in 19 with two more novels.
This sold extremely well, and Boylston found a market for four more books, ending the fifth, Sue Barton, Superintendent of Nurses, with her heroine's announcing her pregnancy to her husband. In 1936, Helen Dore Boylston (1895-1984), an American minor writer and a friend of Rose Wilder Lane, turned to the popular genre of juvenile fiction (as it was then called) with Sue Barton, Student Nurse.
