Hidden Lights
Joan Blaney (About this author)
The revealing and inspiring stories of ten women who, against backgrounds of war, political upheaval, repression and social deprivation, have fought to improve the lot of their families and communities.
The women are from countries as diverse as the UK, Germany, Poland, Russia and South Africa, and they themselves are equally varied. They are alike only in courage, determination and humour with which they have confronted their daunting problems, and in that none sees herself as a heroine or as remarkable. Yet they have overcome difficulties both political and universal - the latter including physical and mental disability, the plight of deprived children, alcoholism and domestic violence. Their stories offer hope and encouragement to us all.
