2019.35.155Description
Like the original Women and the Lakes book, Women and the Lakes, II is anecdotal history. It looks at events very broadly without any effort to evaluate them against measurable criteria. It does not look at trends or draw conclusions. As in Women and the Lakes, the book celebrates the triumph and tragedy of individual rather then of the faceless masses.Context
