Summary

1. This book, published to celebrate the tenth anniversary of White Pine Press' acclaimed Secret Weavers Series, holds selections from all the previous twelve volumes. In sections that address various issues in the lives of women, we see both the duality and the plurality of the female experience, particularly as it pertains to male-dominated societies.
