Affirmative Action

Abstract

life as you read the stories of other women. But it also means that disconnections and untold stories glare back at you at the end of each section and each chapter. And this is where this book moves from being an enjoyable read to a discomforting reminder of the limitations of not only a life history methodology but more importantly of feminism as represented in this book. If your feminism or narrative is not represented in the text, this book will remind you of the work still to be done. For those women present in this text, Bulbeck has provided a story that, at times, leaves the reader sobbing at women’s lost opportunities, but more importantly leaves you with a sense of women’s achievement and of deep social change.
