Reviews

"She is a writer and journalist whose voice belongs to the world." -- Gloria Steinem"A thoughtful, beautifully written collection of essays...blending provocative analysis with the texture of everyday life." -- New York Times Book Review"An invaluable account of the cumulative weariness of the soul brought on by daily life in an Eastern European country." -- Vivian Gornick, critic and essayist (National Book Award finalist)"Seldom has such a narrative been so spirited and immediate." -- Christopher Hitchens"Not only the first ever grassroots feminist critique of communism, it's one of our first glimpses into real peoples' lives in pre-revolutionary Eastern Europe. My world is twice as large as it was before I read this book.... [Drakulic] is a brave, funny, wise and wonderfully gifted writer." -- New York Times bestselling author Barbara Ehrenreich
