Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The idea came up over lunch between two old friends. There was a need for a book that, eschewing sensationalism and simplistic answers, would examine the holes in the fabric of women's talk of the last thirty or forty years. The contributors, a cross-section of women, would be asked to explore defining moments in their lives rarely aired in common discourse: truths they had never shared, subjects they hadn't written about before or otherwise found a place for. What Carol Shields and Marjorie Anderson wanted to hear about were the experiences that had brought unexpected pleasure or disappointment, that somehow had caught each woman unawares. The pieces, woven together, would be a tapestry of stories about what women experience but don't talk about. The resulting book became an instant #1 bestseller. Our feeling was that women are so busy protecting themselves and other people that they still feel they have to keep quiet about some subjects, Carol Shields explained in an interview. Dropped Threads takes as its model the kind of informal discussions women have every day - over coffee, over lunch, over work, over the Internet - and pushes them further, sometimes even into painful territory. Subjects include work, menopause, childbirth, a husband's terminal illness, the loss of a child, getting old, the substance of women's friendships, the power of sexual feelings, the power of power, and that nagging question, How do I look? Some of the experiences are instantly recognizable; others are bound to provoke debate or inspire readers to examine their own lives more closely. The book is a collection of short, engaging pieces by more than thirty women, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island. Many are mothers, some are grandmothers, and many are professionals, including journalists, professors, lawyers, musicians, a corporate events planner and a senator. Readers will find the personal revelations of some of their favourite authors here, such as Margaret Atwood, Bonnie Burnard, Sharon Butala, Joan Barfoot, Joan Clark and Katherine Govier. Other contributors include: - Eleanor Wachtel, CBC radio host, talks about her early fears of speaking in public.- June Callwood, journalist, social activist and a Companion of the Order of Canada, at the age of seventy-six is surprised at her failure to find answers to the imponderable dilemmas surrounding human life, and of her lack of connection to the apparition in the mirror.- Isabel Huggan, short story writer, muses on what she considers the impossibility of mothers passing on knowledge to their daughters, and on her own feeling that we are girls dressed up in ladies' clothing, pretending. With writing that is reflective, often amusing, poignant, emotional and profound, Dropped Threads is the first book to tackle the lesser-discussed issues of middle age and is the first anthology the editors have compiled together.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. In the tradition of the bestselling Dropped Threads and Dropped Threads 2 comes this new collection of essays from well-known writers and new voices. Ever since the publication of the first two Dropped Threads books, readers and writers have longed for another installment -- and here it is. For this collection, editor Marjorie Anderson took a new thematic path, searching out pieces that don't necessarily focus on what women haven't been told, but rather on what they have to tell. In Dropped Threads 3: Beyond the Small Circle, thirty-five women open up their own small circles of experience to others in ways that not only illuminate the lives of individual women but add more threads to the already-rich tapestry of our collective conversation. These essays focus on personal discoveries that, for various reasons, need to be shared: the writers tell us about family secrets, sexuality, rebellion, crevices of deep joy or regret; about finding connections to nature, to animals, to a tribe to which one can belong; about embracing forgiveness, kindness, and new perspectives beyond the circle of individual sight. Barbara McLean tells us of the sister she never knew, and how recovering her story shed light on how grief can take so many different forms. June Callwood explores the continuity that flows between mothers and daughters, and the mysterious, chance happenings that form character. Frances Itani writes about how the voices of the women in her family - her aunts and grandmother relaying stories around the kitchen table - are as integral to her life as her own genetic code. Melanie Janzen sees connections between a Ugandan women's collective and the neighbourhood women of her childhood, but has trouble finding a similar community of support in her own life today. And in all of the pieces, there is a powerful sense that the understanding that comes from writing and reading can enrich our lives beyond measure. As Marjorie Anderson writes in her foreword, we trust first-person narratives precisely because they give us an inside view into someone else's world; here, as in the best of our personal conversations, there are no assertions of absolute truth, no earth-shaking revelations or attempts to manipulate another's belief, just individual voices making individual claims on the discovery of meaning. With Dropped Threads 3: Beyond the Small Circle, Anderson has created a forum in which Canadian women can share their personal discoveries with honesty, insight and humour.
