women about women

These short stories present a rich and powerful tapestry of what it means to grow up female. They are stories that touch on a variety of experiences from a varierty of viewpoints. They are sweet and disturbing, funny and tragic. They have turned me on to a list of beautiful writers that I may not have met otherwise. I've read it again and again over the past ten years and always walk away with a new ah-ha.
