What Members Thought
I enjoyed this collection of short essays about working class women from a wide variety of backgrounds as they struggle through poverty, inadequate health care, humiliation, inferior housing, poor working conditions, unemployment, dead-end jobs. Their stories were raw, personal, sometimes depressing, yet always engaging. These women may be victims, but they are also strong and resourceful survivors.
some stories stronger than others, but overall an excellent, highly recommended book. You'll discover new others to explore on your own after getting a taste for the writing styles you are attracted to.
