Enough To Make A Grown Man Cry

My father used to say this to me when I made a remark that displeased him. Now I am displeased. This is one of the most important books ever written combining history, gender, culture, art, politics, education - a list for which I have not enough space here about some of the most courageous, brilliant, heroic women who ever lived on this puny planet we call earth. Deaf women are part of a culture (not a medical model) - but one of art, history, tradition, mores, and possibly the most gorgeous language ever created for human beings who do not hear. Of course, books do get "lost" in the mix of life. But this one...cannot be among those. It is the ONLY one of its kind. A page-turner and utterly unforgettable. Worth every penny & more.
