About this title: Thirteen essays that first appeared in "Vogue" and "The New Yorker" concerned with women in art and literature and their search for authentic self-expression. Along with pieces on such figures as Nina Berberova, Virginia Woolf, and Flaubert's mistress, Louise Colet, Fraser intersperses vignettes from her own life about her garden, her sister, and buying meat in New York.
