Items related to Finding Courage: Writings by Women
From Publishers Weekly:
Seasoned anthologist Zahava ( Love, Struggle and Change ) collects a splendid variety of tales, some fiction, some autobiography, with the common theme of women overcoming fear. Among the diverse challenges the protagonists face are surviving a car accident, obtaining an illegal abortion, changing schools at age 10, facing old age in a nursing home or the prospect of a bleak widowhood. Some selections are excerpts from well-known books like Beryl Markham's West with the Night , others are by such established authors as Margaret Atwood and Grace Paley, but there is fresher material as well. In "A Window on Soweto," Joyce Sikakane recalls her imprisonment with tough-minded clarity . Terri de la Pena's "A Saturday in August" shows a Chicana overcoming sexual prejudice to make a new friend at an ERA Walkathon. Female characters of all ages and backgrounds speak out here, in tones ranging from naive or inspirational to sophisticated. " Contributors ' Notes" include a listing of each author's work.
