Synopsis:
America in the fifties meant McCarthyism and Ban the Bomb, jitterbug and jazz, girls in padded bras and clinging pastel twin-sets - but that was not all. In this story of the women who liberated us into the seventies, Piercy recreates the fear and tensions that lay beneath the surface.
From the Inside Flap:
Growing up in Detroit in the 1950s, and going to college when the first seeds of sexual freedom are being sown, Jill and Donna are coming of age in an exciting, turbulent time. Wry, independent Jill thrives in the new free-spirited world, while her beautiful cousin Donna desperately searches for a man to make her life whole. As each cousin is driven by different demons and desires, they eventually realize that they cannot overcome fundamental differences in each others' lives. Still, as their futures assume contrary paths, Jill and Donna realize that they may be separated, but they'll never be truly divided from one another.
