Women in the trees

"Women in the Trees marshals the power of literature to confront, explore, and speak out about domestic violence, an experience too often surrounded by silence. Drawing upon over a century of American women's short stories, Susan Koppelman uncovers a powerful legacy of literature that grapples with this harsh reality in the lives of woman. Acclaimed upon its first publication, this updated edition features new selections. Together, these stories form a unique and ultimately empowering collection notable for both its emotional impact and its literary wealth."--BOOK JACKET.
