"The stories in this booklet were told by older women living in Cambridge. The stories are small pieces of Cambridge history: not the kind of history that is usually found in textbooks, but rather the history of the everyday lives of regular people in their families, communities, and workplaces. We were particularly interested in the perspectives of women because their stories have been largely ignored, and because they relate the essence of family and community life" (from the introduction by Cindy Cohen and Bonnie Acker).
