  • ""Leah liebt ihre Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit über alles. Die unkonventionelle junge Frau zieht es in den zwanziger Jahren fort von ihrer gutbürgerlichen New Yorker Familie, mitten hinein in das aufregende Leben der Boheme von Greenwich Village. Dort findet sie die große Liebe -- und bleibt doch ihren Motto treu, sich von keinem Mann ihr Leben bestimmen zu lassen. Ein Motto, das sie an ihre Tochter weiterreicht und das über vier Generationen und zwei Kontinente hinweg das Leben einer bemerkenswerten Familie prägen wird ..."--Page 4. of cover."
  • "New York, 1910. Léa Vogel, orpheline d'origine russe, s'affranchit de sa condition d'ouvrière à travers son métier d'écrivain. Elle fait aussi preuve d'esprit d'indépendance en ne se pliant pas aux contraintes du mariage. Elle va léguer ses deux traits de caractère à sa fille Jo, puis à ses descendantes. La saga de quatre générations de femmes."
  • ""[N]arrative provides a whirlwind history of women in the 20th century. Throughout the four-generational saga -- which emphasizes the distaff side, hence the title -- the heroines wage their struggle for selfhood against a background that includes the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, both World Wars, the McCarthy era, the make-love-not-war 1960s, up to the present [i.e. 1992]"--Dawn Anderson for Library Journal, quoted on Amazon.com."
  • "Four generations of successful women and the price they pay for their success. They are Leah, a 1920s radical writer; Jo, a World War II photographer; Sarah, a singer and songwriter; and Annie, a comedian. By the author of The Hospital."
