On Account of Conspicuous Women

A feel-good novel laced with historical significance about unlikely friends in a small Southern town pulled into the roar of the 1920s. It’s a rare immersion into the lives lived by many of our grandparents and great-grandparents that somehow makes that era and its people as real as today. A story that sparkles with intimate detail and wit, it’s also a gentle reminder that the growing political and social strength of women and people of racial minorities today is an important and recent phenomenon. This is a celebration of the choices now available.
