Much has changed in the women's movement since the early 1970s. Since that time, Sheila Rowbotham has observed and commented on women's changing roles from both a personal and a historical perspective. Here she gathers nearly a quarter of a century of these writings. Among them are a reflection on writing history with a subjective awareness of class, gender, and race; a personal essay on growing up as a subversive in the conformist 1950s; and a look at how self-image was addressed in the early years of women's liberation. Interwoven throughout these essays are the threads of Rowbotham's compassionate wisdom as she encourages us to remember the past, care about each other, and pay attention to our own lives.
