Description: The seventeen essays reprinted in this anthology address the ways in which western women have experienced the twentieth century.
Review Quotes: "Against a backdrop of rugged mountains and barren desert, a landscape traditionally dominated [with] men, the feminine spirit emerges like a cold, clear stream. Where the history of the West meets the complexity of modern life, women's voices are just beginning to be heard. This book is not only for women; men should read it, too."
