Product Description
On Folktales of Strong Women, Doug has unearthed and reassembled five tales of women--from young girl to crone to immortal death--from Mexico, Africa, Poland, Israel, and Vietnam. Each story presents a vital and entertaining image of a woman who takes command of her life. The collection as a whole shows how tellers in our culture have focused on female characterizations in just a few of the thousands of tales available.
