You Can't Keep a Good Woman Down by Alice Walker US $7.20 Published by Harcourt Brace, April 1982 Back Cover: A natural evolution from the earlier, much-acclaimed short story collection In Love & Trouble, these four- teen provocative and often humorous stories show women oppressed but not defeated. No longer do they excuse the aggression of others; no longer are they suspended in their unhappy condition. The women here claim every bit of space they make. These are modern stories: about love, lust, fame, and cultural thievery; the perils of pornography, abortion, and rape; the delight of new lovers, and the rediscovery of old friends, affirmed even across self-imposed color lines. "A major American writer, a cause for gratitude, delight and celebration. Some of these stories dare where no others have ventured before, stun with the deep and challenging human truths that emerge."—Tillie Olsen Order it from Amazon
