Hidden Lights: Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Lives

By Joan Blaney

Ten women are profiled from countries as diverse as the UK, Germany, Poland, Russia, and South Africa, who, against backgrounds of war, political upheaval, repression, and social deprivation, have fought to improve the lots of their families and communities. Their inspiring stories of courage, determination, humor, and remarkable success in confronting daunting problems such as physical and mental disability, impoverished children, alcoholism, and domestic violence, provide a rare international look at women's struggles, and humanize the historical upheavals of the past century.
