To change that perception and capture some of these life stories before they are lost, the Story Circle Network, a national organization dedicated to helping women write about their lives, developed the Older Women's Legacy (OWL) Circle Memoir Workshops. During the first two years of the project (1998-2000), nearly 500 older women participated in workshops that offered them the opportunity and encouragement to reflect on and create written records of their lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith Courage and Common Sense \u003c\/i\u003e presents an extensive selection of memoirs from the OWL Circle project. Organized thematically, they describe women's experiences of identity, place, work, family life, love and marriage, loss and healing, adventures great and small, major historical events, and legacies to keep and pass along. Taken as a whole, the memoirs chronicle far-reaching changes in the ways that women participated in the world during the twentieth century. They show how women learned to surmount obstacles, to courageously make the most of the opportunities that came their way, and to move quietly and wisely beyond the limits that were imposed upon them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Wittig Albert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292701888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292701885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.52w x 0.66d","brand":"Susan Wittig Albert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43913553248511,"sku":"9780292701885","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b1023033-2f56-4dd9-8e9d-7ae4c017a5e6.jpg?v=1680621015","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/with-courage-and-common-sense-susan-wittig-albert-9780292701885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
