Praise for this book

Rich not only asserts but demonstrates that every woman's soul is haunted 'by the spirits of earlier women who fought for their unmet needs'. . . . Throughout, Rich underscores the duty of American women artists to 'take women's existence seriously as a source of art.' Highly recommended. "
