Abstract: 
"In this remarkable collection, Bonnie, Ilyse Tunick employs prose, poems, and photographs to celebrate the courage and achievements of "ordinary" women, who are, of course, extraordinary in their tenacity, their creativity, their sense of humor and their compassion for one another. Tunick knows what counts most in our lives, and she uses an exquisite eye for detail to remind us about what is valuable and universal in the female condition. This is a very funny, very wise, and very tender work of art, one that you will want to share with your friends and family, with your mother and with your best friend. In these pages, you will meet people you already know and love, and see them all with a fresh vision."
