Stroud: Sutton, 2002. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 520 $a This is a work of 11 self-contained chapters, one for each day of September before the attack on the World Trade Center in New York, each containing one woman's story. Taking stories from a broad spectrum of women, the chapters reflect the worlds they inhabited and how the attack on September 11 affected their lives. Despite national and international policies aimed at securing equality for women, the sad fact is that it is still an uneven and insecure equality. Dare we hope that the situation will improve? Christopher Hilton has interviewed eleven very different womensome from the West, some from Afghanistanto find out what their lives were like and how the attack of September 11, 2001 changed their lives. In the stories that emerge we hear the voices of women whose ordinary loves were suddenly changed and who became actors in some of the most far-reaching events of the modern world. 650 0 $a September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001. 650 0 $a Women $z United States $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Women $z Afghanistan $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210909010201.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3C8348A2113311EC9BA0FD174FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
