Book excerpt: Brings new and seldom heard voices to the feminist debate Janet Mancini Billson lets you listen to the voices of women of color, native women, and rural and immigrant women. She shows us the dilemmas they face working to preserve the positive parts of their culture that provide identity and closeness among generations, while casting off the negative parts of their heritage that may hold them back.
