History Lessons: Stories

by Joan Connor

The stories in this collection all bear some relationship to history, personal or communal. Several are based on iconic American figures, from William Miller to Margaret Hamilton to Ray Charles. Others evince a feminist impulse to redeem from history the women whose lives have gone unremarked.
