Summary "My Impressions of America" by Margot Asquith is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. It presents Asquith's reflections and observations during her travels through the United States and parts of Canada, offering insights into American society, culture, and the differences she notes compared to her own British background. The author, a prominent figure in social and literary circles, shares her candid thoughts on various aspects of modern American life, including its architecture, the behavior of its citizens, and the media landscape. The opening of the memoir introduces readers to Margot Asquith aboard the ship "Carmania" as she sets off for America, reflecting on her aversion to typical tourist behavior and her lack of curiosity about certain sights. She humorously contemplates her initial interactions with press reporters and conveys a mix of apprehension and excitement about her upcoming journey. Upon arriving in New York, she describes her initial experience in the bustling city, including her challenging first lecture, highlighting the architectural splendor that captivates her despite feelings of seasickness and inadequacy. Asquith's personal anecdotes and observations set the stage for a deeper exploration of American life throughout her travels. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
