In a kaleidoscope of characters and with a richness of imagery, emotion, and wit, A Short History of Women is a thought-provoking and vividly original narrative that crisscrosses a century--a book for \"any woman who has ever struggled to find her own voice; to make sense of being a mother, wife, daughter, and lover\" (Associated Press).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKate Walbert is the author of seven works of fiction: \u003ci\u003eShe Was Like That\u003c\/i\u003e, longlisted for the Story Prize and a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003eNotable Book of the Year; \u003ci\u003eHis Favorites, \u003c\/i\u003ean Atlantic Monthly Best Book of the Year\u003ci\u003e; The Sunken Cathedral; A Short History of Women\u003c\/i\u003e, a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Review 10 Best Books of the Year and finalist for the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize; \u003ci\u003eOur Kind\u003c\/i\u003e, a National Book Award finalist; \u003ci\u003eThe Gardens of Kyoto\u003c\/i\u003e; and the story collection \u003ci\u003eWhere She Went\u003c\/i\u003e.
