Illustrated by Vera B. Williams

This first collaboration of two longtime feminist and antiwar activists melds word and image to create a powerful call for world peace. Paley’s poems and short fiction and Williams’s watercolors depict the dignity of ordinary lives from El Salvador to the Bronx, from New Hampshire to Vietnam. Scenes and stories of domestic life, solitude, and nature are interspersed with images of protest, joyous and defiant.

''A small book full of good humor, good gossip, and wisdom.'' —Ursula Le Guin, author of Left Hand of Darkness
