About This Item
Dangaroo Press, 1993. First Edition. Softcover. As New/No Dust Jacket. From the cover: "What was it really like to be a part of the British Empire, that large area uniformly coloured red on the map of the world? These stories, poems, and autobiographical essays by women from various countries of the Commonwealth retrace the common ground as well as uncover extensive areas of difference. Setting out as personal reflections they lead, through a remarkable play of perspectives and voices - witty, sardonic, subtle, astute, lyrical, to a general and persuasive idea of private lives shaped by larger and often contradictory forces of history and cultures." Size: Octavo (standard book size). Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. All edges clean, neat and free of foxing. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Women & Feminism; History. ISBN: 1871049970. ISBN/EAN: 9781871049978.
