Nine Years of Thursdays

About Nine Years of Thursdays

Eight women ranging in age from early sixties to mid eighties recollect their stories through the twin filters of emotion and memory. The broad diversity of this group of writers - their ethnicity, race, class, religion, and political and sexual orientations reflect the diversity of women's lives throughout the twentieth century. Their stories cover a wide range of experiences: their anguish and confusion as young women coming of age, their personal encounters with prejudice, their coming to terms with mortality and loss, and their resisting the pressures of the culture to define what their role as women should be. Their stories are told with honesty, humor and without self-pity taking the reader into intimate and universal worlds.
