Variety of voices, diversity of issues in stories of women

This little volume of short stories about women is varied, energetic, honest and vibrant. Margaret Atwood begins wih a story about giving birth that is sensitive and special in the telling."Maime" bu Carolina Mancuso tells the story of an oppressed woman who finally takes her destiny into her own hands.In "Christmas Eve at Johnson's Drugs N Goods" Toni Cade Bambara uses dialect most effectively in telling about a young lack girl who wonders about the woman she is going to be.The reader will find a variety of voices and issues in these stories and the quality -- of the writing, the plotting and characterization -- is excellent.
