Making Sense of Women's Lives presents a wide range of writings about women's lives in the United States. Michele Plott and Lauri Umansky have drawn on their experiences as both students and professors to assemble the collection. Seeking to provide as full a sampling from a diverse and intellectually vibrant field as one volume permits, the editors have also chosen writing that makes an enjoyable read. A few of the selections here represent the undisputed 'classics' of the field. More of them constitute simply the works, drawn from academic and nonacademic sources alike, that could make a difference in understanding what it means to be female in America. Making Sense of Women's Lives is intended as the primary text in Women's Studies courses. With that usage in mind, Plott and Umansky have provided brief introductions to each article to help students understand the author's perspectives. Thought and discussion questions follow each selection. The book contains, as well, numerous "Flash Exercises"—suggestions for class exercises and activities. The editors have used these activities in their courses over the past decade, in conjunction with readings in this volume, and have found that the full complement of materials coalesces into an intellectually powerful introduction to Women's Studies.

In the early 1900s, artist Paul Thulin's great-grandfather settled on an island off the coast of Maine because it resembled his homeland of Sweden. As a result, his family has returned to Gray's Point each summer for over a century. Throughout his life, his great-grandfather shared exquisitely detailed accounts of the early settlers of the New England apple orchard that included such characters as a one-legged ship cook, a widowed schoolteacher, and an ingenious Native American blacksmith. The tales were an intricate mix of facts and lore that fueled imagination and often had the power to transform daily floorboard creaks and shadows into enduring ancestral spirits. "Pine Tree Ballads" is a poetic memoir that embraces this spirit of magic realism. This deeply personal photographic sequence is a family generated folktale of place and origins; a story infused with both imagination and reality which, in most instances, are the true ingredients of history.This book adopts a unique"docu-literary" structure that celebrates and fully exploits the duplicitous nature of photography/text to be simultaneously interpreted as both fact and fiction. The project explores the emotive, contextual, and material constructs of history, culture, personal identity, memory, and folklore. The images are made with a variety of photo-based processes including both large format b/w and color film, and hi-resolution digital capture. An "aura aesthetic" purposely exposes the formal beauty and conceptual profundity of analog-based photographic material disruptions, such as film light leaks, dust and scratches, lens distortion, chemical stains, loss of color integrity, film grain, mold, and the multitude of ways paper stains, rips, and deteriorates over time.
