The book illustrates their struggles to realize their dreams and their resourcefulness in coping with often dreary, hard, even horrifying lives.

This richly researched work traces common patterns and unique experiences in women's lives by showing how they defined themselves, coped with daily life, and confronted disaster with courage and resourcefulness.
