The correspondence of these two prominent women reveals their
concerns with love, career, and marriage. Their letters tell the
story of the first generation of women to come of age during the
twentieth century, as they tried to cope with problems that still
face women today.
Holtz's "introductory remarks to each section of the book are
gracefully done. . . . Two vibrant personalities emerge." Thompson
and Lane's "extraordinary conversation, begun on a walking tour of
the Loire valley, continues in letters throughout their
lives."--New York Times Book Review
"Holtz . . . proves that carefully compiled, painstakingly edited
correspondence, even between two women who are not exactly
household names, can be instructive, fascinating, disturbing and
delightful."--History: Reviews of Books
