The women in these twelve stories make a number of different choices: some work, others don't; some stay married, some get divorced; others never marry at all. Through each character's intimate journey, specific truths are revealed about what it means to be a woman--in relationship with another person, in a particular culture and era--and how these conditions ultimately affect her relationship with herself. The stories as a whole depict patriarchy, showing what still might be, but certainly what was, for some women in this country before the #MeToo movement. Both a cautionary tale and a captivating window into women's lives, Life and Other Shortcomings is required reading for anyone interested in an honest, incisive, and compelling portrayal of the female experience."--Page 4 of cover 505 00 $t Drowning girl. $t Sunny side up -- $t The joker -- $t Blind man's bluff -- $t All you touch -- $t Happily ever after -- $t Shadows and partially lit faces -- $t Lucky -- $t The devil makes three -- $t That's how it was with Howie -- $t Tick tock -- $t Drowning girl. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $x Social life and customs $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Choice (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Self-realization in women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Domestic fiction. 650 0 $a Short stories. 941 $a 2 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210616010021.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20210130011618.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E34DE72462C811EBBBC4168156ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
