Koppelman has selected well. These are not in any sense sociological tracts to prove a point. Focused, as fiction should be, on individual lives, they reveal the variations in the patterns as they are lived out by individual women, who come from different backgrounds, inhabit different communities, and respond to their situations in distinctly personal ways.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAcclaimed on its first publication by critics, educators, and activists, this new edition of \u003ci\u003eWomen in the Trees\u003c\/i\u003e includes several new selections, over thirty stories in all. Together, these stories form a unique and ultimately empowering collection notable for both its emotional impact and its literary wealth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Koppelman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558614877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558614871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Feminist Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 1.10d","brand":"Susan Koppelman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48153758793983,"sku":"9781558614871","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b2cd6cb-39d0-4226-b658-b15c8f1309d3.jpg?v=1770785636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-in-the-trees-susan-koppelman-9781558614871","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
