These forty-eight powerful stories and poems etch in vivid detail the
breakthrough moments experienced by women during the life-changing era
that was the '60s and '70s. And finally, here, they tell it like it was.
Their stories range from Vietnam to France, from Chile to England, from
the Haight-Ashbury to Greenwich Village, and from the Deep South to the
Midwest. They write of cultural reverberations that reached into farm
kitchens and city "pads," from coffeehouse jazz clubs to psychedelic
rock concerts. This inspiring collection celebrates the women of the
'60s and '70s, reminds them of the importance of their legacy, and seeks
to motivate young women today.
