Each volume in the "Modern Women Writers" series offers a complete fictional work by a contemporary female writer, which reflects a different culture and set of experiences. The books contain extensive study material and assignments at a range of levels for GCSE English and English literature courses. In addition to pre-reading activities and notes, the novels contain a reading log with ideas for group and individual assignments to help pupils comprehend the text. This is a collection of celebratory poems in which women record and report small and large successes. The women from different cultures tell about their lives from childhood, early womanhood, maturity and motherhood and the world of work and politics to old age and death. The text is also suitable for adult students taking English examinations and for overseas students.
