Description:
"Invaluable."--Eric J. Sundquist in The New York Times Book Review"These stories are free of neither anxiety nor exigency. Duress returned these women to the marketplace, and the marketplace often exposed them to humiliation, examination, and sale. Moreover, their female biology itself had once been valued and sold....The challenge in reading these four narratives lies in seeing through the screens, in surrendering our obsession with facts and details, and in accepting the will of these women to possess their ownlives."--Anthony G. Barthelmy, in his Introduction
