El grupo es una novela de Mary McCarthy que retrata a ocho estudiantes que, tras graduarse en Vassar en 1933, inician su vida adulta. La novela aborda temas como la independencia, el trabajo, el amor, la anticoncepción, el matrimonio, la maternidad y las opciones sexuales y políticas. A través de las historias de Kay, Dottie, Pokey, Helena, Libby, Priss, Lakey y Polly, McCarthy ofrece un retrato de una generación de mujeres que buscaban algo más que ser simples adornos personales y cuyo objetivo en la vida no era solo el matrimonio. Sin embargo, se enfrentan a una sociedad que aún no está preparada para los cambios sustanciales en la convivencia humana y a los convencionalismos y prejuicios de sus progenitores.
