Are these three "real american women" all white?

Kate Yes, they are. And that is only one of my many issues with it.
Jen She does mention a black woman she followed who finally bowed out of the interview process for a variety of reasons. I get the sense it was a luck of the draw that these 3 women just happened to be ones most willing to be intruded on for any length of time.
Katie It also upset me that race has not been mentioned at all so far (I'm only halfway through). I wonder if this was a major oversight or if there is a larger reason only white women are represented in this book.
Marilyn I'm halfway through and do not remember race being mentioned. You could easily picture them as any ethnic group you'd like.
Valita Why does that matter??? Really? We can't even let this Author write a book without it becoming a race issue?
Bonnie I do agree with Kate - it would be interesting to see if this 'female masochism' is prevalent in other ethnic and racial communities.
Asia Do you really cares if they are white or not? It shows women, not their color of skin or ethnic. It's better if you focus on topic.
Jules Good point. I think that they are.
