First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Minor shelf rubbing to the corners, very little wear overall. Text is clean. 'The women who have courageously told us their stories represent a cross-section living in British Columbia. Most, having reached retirement years, are now single and surviving on low income. These snippets from their lives, spanning a period of almost 80 years, reveal the differences between the prevailing myths and the reality for women. The stories reflect change fueled by population growth, urbanization, social upheaval and rapid technological change. Most of the women spent their childhood and youth during the dirty '30s - the Depression years.' 180 pages. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book.
