This is a wonderful reminder of the importance of each woman's special story. From the SF Chromicle "Professor Mander wrote books that touched women's lives, co-authoring "Feminism as Therapy" in 1974, and "Blood Ties, A Woman's History" in 1976. In that memoir, she interviewed her grandmother and, through the older woman's eyes, was able to tell her own dramatic life story.
Born in Yugoslavia five years before World War II, Professor Mander fled the Nazis with her family at age 7 and hid for years on an island in the Adriatic Sea. When the Nazis threatened that hideout, the family wound its way through Europe and, in 1949, arrived on Ellis Island."

This is a must have for all women involved in therapy professions. Ms Mander has a wonderful writing voice and has been an integral block in the building of feminist studies.
