Description: This collection of memoirs and stories - an anthology by women writers from diverse ethnic backgrounds - reveals how our own identities are shaped by our grandmothers' histories. Grandmothers: Granddaughters Remember explodes stereotypes of older women and reveals them in all their complexity.

Each writer has experienced her grandmother differently, from enjoying her as a mentor to rebelling against - and ultimately adopting - her outlook. And a few of them had to create their own grandmother stories from fragments gleaned from family histories.
