کتاب زندگی زنان نورتون

This magnificent, handsome, handful of an anthology . . .* includes sixty-one substantial selections from the twentieth-century literature of womens lives: autobiographies, journals, and memoirs. As varied in humanity as in geography,** the women whose life stories are collected here include the famous—Maya Angelou, Maxine Hong Kingston, Anne Frank, Virginia Woolf—and the surprising—Emma Mashinini, a black South African labor organizer Onnie Lee Logan, an Alabama granny midwife Sara Suleri, an expatriate in America who reflects hilariously on the language of food in her native Pakistan.Destined to become a classic,‡ this treasury of womens lives, brimming with intelligence, passion, wit, and determination, is a celebration of life itself.*Hungry Mind Review**Washington Post Book World‡Library Journal
