Summary |
"In 1974, seven women left behind the life they knew and created a commune deep in the Adirondack Mountains. They called this community "A Woman's Place." Lorraine Duvall's ties to the community began with a retreat she attended in 1974. Forty-three years later, while revisiting the ideals of coming together in a communal environment, she met dozens of women who were part of A Woman's Place. After listening to their stories and studying historical documents, she wrote about that important time in women's history"-- Provided by publisher. |
