Our Mothers' Ghosts and Other Stories

By Marilyn Hope Lake

Forced to extremes in order to escape women's accepted societal roles, the protagonists in this short story collection-the women of one midwestern river town family-overcome hardship and heartbreak, pain and pressure, in order to burst the bonds that hold them and bring forth a better future for their daughters and sons. Their struggles comprise a panorama of women's issues that span the twentieth century: social injustice, sexism, discrimination, and racism. These ordinary women experienced it all, and the unique ways in which they dealt with these issues illustrate a past we should all hope to leave behind.
