Count Me a Contemporary American Woman

Check out my essay, “How Did I Get Roped Into This?” in Contemporary American Women: Our Defining Passages, available this month from All Things That Matter Press. This will make a great Christmas present for those beautiful strong women (or men) in your life. And for you professors, this exciting nonfiction anthology addresses women’s issues and will also provide a unique, dynamic much-needed new text for college/university Women’s Studies classes.

From the back cover: “This unique collection includes over fifty articles by more than thirty-five diverse American women who revisit, celebrate, and share defining moments in their lives. Readers will see the universal in milestones of body, mind, family, career, and personal empowerment—whether joyous or difficult, chosen or unexpected, common or rare. These are poignant passages of women, told by talented and award winning writers: intimate glimpses into the lives of our sisters, friends, aunts, mentors, wives, grandmothers, partners, mothers, daughters—ourselves.”
