'''''The Girl''''' (1939; 1978) is a novel by [[Meridel Le Sueur]] set during [[Prohibition]] and chronicling the development of a young woman from a naive small-town girl into a participant in a bank robbery.
Originally completed in 1939, the book was blacklisted during the [[McCarthyism|McCarthy Era]] for its alleged [[Communism|Communist]] ideas. In the 1970s, Le Sueur modified the story, making Girl's baby a girl instead of a boy, and the book was eventually published in 1978. Feminists' interest in the novel led to renewed attention for the author.
