Description
This anthology includes sixty-one substantial selections from the twentieth-century literature of women’s lives: autobiographies, journals, and memoirs from Maya Angelou, Maxine Hong Kingston, Anne Frank, Virginia Woolf―and the surprising―Emma Mashinini, a black South African labor organizer; Onnie Lee Logan, an Alabama “granny” midwife; Sara Suleri, an expatriate in America who reflects hilariously on the language of food in her native Pakistan.
