Summary:
Somali women tell their stories, sharing experiences of love, war, displacement, family, identity, and everyday life. In their own words, these are stories of mothers and daughters, teachers and social workers, scientists and medical professionals, lawyers and politicians--all Somali women who have made their marks on Minnesota. -- Adapted from publisher's description.
