Reseña: NOMINATED FOR THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE A profoundly moving portrait of the complicated legacies of mothers and daughters A Short History of Women chronicles five generations of women from the close of the nineteenth century through the early years of the twenty-first. Beginning in 1914 at the deathbed of Dorothy Trevor Townsend a suffragette who starves herself for the cause the novel traces the echoes of her choice in the stories of her descendants--a brilliant daughter who tries to escape the burden of her mothers infamy a granddaughter who chooses a conventional path only to find herself disillusioned a great-granddaughter who wryly articulates the free-floating anxiety of post-9/11 Manhattan. In a kaleidoscope of characters and with a richness of imagery emotion and wit A Short History of Women is a thought-provoking and vividly original narrative that crisscrosses a century--a book for any woman who has ever struggled to find her own voice to make sense of being a mother wife daughter and lover (Associated Press).
