Women's Spaces Women's Places: from 50 WNC Women Writers

The women in this anthology express the same universal needs and desires as did Virginia Woolf in her 1929 lectures where she exhorts: "Give a woman a room of her own and let her speak her mind." In essay, memoir, poem, and story, these women, all with connections to western North Carolina, write of their own seeking and finding of space and place: the solitude of the sea, the solace of music, the sweet familiarity of lineage, family and home; the chimera amd calling of landscape in Venice, Greece, and other exotica, and the simple satisfaction of "home.". "This book serves as an introduction to women writers, experienced and novice, in the area." Rob Neufled, book reviewer, Sunday Asheville Citizen-Times.. "A superb vehicle for collecting and sharing tales of the strength, wisdom, and grace of the women of these beautiful mountains." WNC Women Magazine
