This is the kind of book that resonates with you way after you finish. The true stories are engaging and yet hauntingly sad. The images are strong and powerful. Jones evokes questions that keep popping into everyday stuff I do or subjects I am talking about. It makes me see and hear things slightly differently -- relationships,appearances, and the choices we make. Very nice.

If you are a serious feminist, you NEED this book. It is a truly excellent collection of articles by scholars who span the whole women's movement, with all of its strength in women's communities of color.
