El grupo es la obra más conocida y controvertida de la escritora estadounidense Mary McCarthy. Publicada en 1963, esta novela aborda temas como el amor libre, la anticoncepción y el aborto desde una perspectiva femenina. La trama sigue la vida de nueve universitarias recién graduadas del Vassar College en la Nueva York de los años treinta, desde la boda de una de ellas hasta su funeral en 1940. Estas mujeres independientes y libres se enfrentan a las expectativas de la sociedad, que las empuja hacia el matrimonio y la crianza. Una radiografía de los Estados Unidos en una época en que las mujeres empezaban a alzar su voz.
