description: Photographs by Robert Adams, Harry Callahan, Bruce Davidson, Larry Fink, Danny Lyon, Sally Mann, Eudora Welty, and moreEssays by Tillie Olsen and Estelle JussimProse and poetry by Sharon Olds, Adrienne Rich, Anne Sexton, Alice Walker, and Eudora Welty In this extraordinary volume, "Mothers &amp; Daughters: An Exploration in Photographs" with essays by Tillie Olsen and Estelle Jussim, the most basic and the most mysterious of relationships -- as experienced in contemporary America -- is explored in all of its variety, nuance, and ambivalence. Nearly ninety photographers contributed penetrating images of mothers and their daughters -- women of every shape, hue, and social station. The result is an emotional mosaic of depth and detail and also a pioneering accomplishment in the history of photography. The photographers are joined by leading women writers and poets offering a kaleidoscopic gathering of insights and observations.
