A 1970s, first-ever-anywhere (she's pretty sure) female take on Bozo the Clown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this collection, Cynthia Swanson explores the lives of nine women, including several ancillary figures from Swanson's beloved, bestselling novels. Covering more than a century of American history and landscapes, these stories examine recognizable struggles: gender presumptions, body image, gaslighting, and abuse, among others. The women's lives differ from one another, but they share a singular trait: their sex dictates the expectations stamped onto them. Each woman, in her time, must fight for who she is against the forces working to constrain her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Isn't New asks: What can uniquely female history teach us about our own lives-and how can the power of story inform our choices going forward?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cynthia Swanson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798990807457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbine York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.35d","brand":"Cynthia Swanson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440896454911,"sku":"9798990807457","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af77e5ec-0b82-49d3-9c4f-2ca040606363.jpg?v=1777187391","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/this-isnt-new-cynthia-swanson-9798990807457","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
