Fiction. Women's Studies. WOMEN IN THE TREES marshalls the power of literature to confront domestic violence, an experience that is still too often neglected or condoned, surrounded by silence and shame. Acclaimed on its first publication by critics, educators, and activists, this new eidtion of WOMEN IN THE TREES includes several new selections, over thirty-five stories in all. "This is a first-rate collection that illustrates how universal and enduring this violence is.but these stories aren't just history; they are also most definitely literature"--Publishers Weekly (starred review).
