Description

Living the Changes explores the nature and extent of women's changing realities. The contributors include writers, artists, academics, street kids and social workers, and range in age from nine to seventy-three. Their topics reflect the diversity and complexity of the concerns of contemporary women – birthing and aging, body image, culture, drugs, violence, sexual abuse, prostitution, reproductive technology, and spirituality.
