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 a 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 (and 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. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Women|vFiction. 650 0 Women|xSocial life and customs|vFiction. 650 0 Interpersonal relations|vFiction. 650 0 Choice (Psychology)|vFiction. 650 0 Self-realization in women|vFiction. 700 1 Rakocy, Abigail. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 14567565?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ dra_9781667010076_180.jpeg
