Jill Ker Conway, author of one of the most celebrated memoirs of recent decades, is also the premier anthologist of women's autobiographical writing. In Her Own Words is Conway's distillation of women's experience from the British Commonwealth world she came from, compared with major themes in women's lives in the United States, which is now her home.

In this dazzling collection, we meet twelve remarkable women--from Shirley Chisholm, the West Indian-raised girl who became the first black woman to be elected to the U.S. Congress, to Janet Frame, the brilliant New Zealand writer who overcame involuntary treatment in a mental institution to write one of the archetypal analyses of the postcolonial experience. We learn how the world of politics and the private self intersect in the four offshoots of the old British world, and see how these women have made a difference--by their honesty, by the scale of their struggle for self-knowledge and autonomy, and by the power of their writing.

Includes writing from:

Patricia Adam-Smith Lillian Hellman
Rosemary Brown Dorothy Hewett
Kim Chernin Robin Hyde
Shirley Chisholm Dorothy Livesay
Lauris Edmond Sally Morgan
Janet Frame Gabrielle Roy

Only problem is it's so good now my wife uses it too
I had eczema on my hands that i treated with dr prescribed steroids. I tried dozens of different lotion after the steroid cream to keep the eczema from coming back with no luck. This is the only one that keeps my hands moisturized enough to keep it away. Only problem is it's so good now my wife uses it too.

NOT the Smoothing Repair cream, it’s Advanced Repair
NOT the Smoothing Repair Cream, outdated website description. Seller explained that Eucerine no longer makes the Smoothing Repair, it became the Advanced Repair cream. Shame on Eucerine I guess as the new formula is not as good as the old one. Beware when ordering.
