Publisher Synopsis
"Here is an unusually incisive and well-written anthology, covering many of the complexities inherent in women's memories. For me, the analysis of feminists' accounts of their mothers, their reality versus fiction, their evidence of resentment and distortion were especially compelling, original and insightful. I highly recommend this collection."<br>-Carolyn Heilbrun, Columbia University <br> Read more...
