This multicultural collection of eighteen stories written between the 1840s and the 1980s explores an ancient relationship with fresh vision. In these stories, mothers and daughters describe their conflicts and consolations, their trusts and mistrusts, their loves and their hates.
Susan H. Koppelman (b. 1940) is a feminist literary historian and anthologist. The PCA/ACA's Susan Koppelman Award for Feminist Studies in Popular and American Culture is given in her honor.
Like most collections of short stories, some are better than others. I think I even skipped one or two because I just couldn't get into them. I did enjoy and appreciate the diversity of the stories, though.
