- catalog abstract "This collection is the author's distillation of women's experience from the British Commonwealth world, compared with major themes in women's lives in the United States. The collection is comprised of the accounts of twelve women, from Shirley Chisholm, the West Indian-raised girl who became the first black woman to be elected to the U.S. Congress, to Janet Frame, the New Zealand writer who overcame involuntary treatment in a mental institution to write one of the archetypal analyses of the postcolonial experience. The worlds of politics and private self intersect in the four offshoots of the former British Empire, where these women have made a difference through their honesty, their struggle for self-knowledge and autonomy, and their writing.".
