Woman on the Edge of Time

Una mujer chicana, Connie Ramos, ha sido encarcelada injustamente en una institución mental de Nueva York. Las autoridades la consideran un peligro para sí misma y para los demás, e incluso su familia ha dejado de apoyarla. Pero Connie tiene un secreto, una forma de escapar de los confines de su celda: ella puede ver el futuro. Esta novela es una transformadora visión de dos futuros... y de cómo uno u otro pueden llegar a hacerse realidad. Por un lado, un tiempo de equidad racial y sexual, de dignidad medioambiental, un tiempo en el que es posible alcanzar una realización personal sin precedentes, donde todo el mundo participa por sorteo en el gobierno y la educación es comunitaria. Por otro, Connie también es testigo de otra posibilidad con un resultado muy distinto: una sociedad de explotación grotesca en la que las fronteras entre personas y mercancías han quedado definitivamente borradas.

City of Darkness, City of Light

Post–Civil War New York City is the battleground of the American dream. In this era of free love, emerging rights of women, and brutal sexual repression, Freydeh, a spirited young Jewish immigrant, toils at different jobs to earn passage to America for her family. Learning that her younger sister is adrift somewhere in the city, she begins a determined search that carries her from tenement to brothel to prison—as her story interweaves with those of some of the epoch's most notorious figures: Elizabeth Cady Stanton; Susan B. Anthony; sexual freedom activist Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run for president; and Anthony Comstock, founder of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, whose censorship laws are still on the books. In the tradition of her bestselling World War II epic Gone to Soldiers, Marge Piercy once again re-creates a turbulent period in American history and explores changing attitudes in a land of sacrifice, suffering, promise, and reward.

Kücük değişimler

Suzanne Blume has known success and disappointment in equal measure. A respected lawyer who survived two marriages and put two children through college, she now faces the disquieting prospect of her wayward older daughter moving back home. But more troubling still is the news that her mother, a woman of legendary independence who has never truly accepted her daughter nor approved of her choices, has been felled by age and illness. And, for the first time in her life, she needs Suzanne's help. Intertwining the lives of three generations of contemporary women, master storyteller Marge Piercy plunges into the deepest, most elemental basics of life -- love, aging, illness, and death -- and emerges with a brave, compassionate exploration of the volatile ground between mothers and daughters.

"This epic story is fueled with intense commitment and sensuousness." LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW Vida was their star--the beautiful, charismatic radical from the pages of LIFE magazine--the symbol of the passionate rebellion of the sixties. Now, ten years later, the shouting is over, but Vida is still on the run. Staying in Network hideouts, traveling disguised, fearing every glance, she finds her best protection is her distrust of everyone--a lesson learned from past treacheries. And now, knowing the dangers, she finds herself warming again toward a man, an outcast ten years younger than herself.

A selection of poems by the novelist, poet, and essayist deal with the approaching end of the century and the pleasures and problems of modern life
