"The stories of 39 extraordinary women told by their daughters."--Page 4 of cover.

"In 2004, Vancouver actor, Marilyn Norry, was curious about women's history and asked her friends to write about their mothers in a short-form story - where she was born, to whom, and what happened next ... In this collection, it is possible to see how opportinuities for women have changed in the 20th century, and how each woman's expectations shift between civic duty, family responsibility, personal happiness, and fulfillment."--Page 4 of cover.
