A Woman’s Story by Francine Rodriguez Woman's Story tells the stories of Latina women's lives. Depicting conflict in gender bias, experiences of exploitation, violence, and powerlessness, sometimes resulting in pain and despair in their turbulent world. But these stories also tell of these women's celebration of life itself that empowers them and gives them the will to sustain. These stories resonate on a deeply emotional level. Rodriguez knows how to spin a narrative and keep it going with energy. She creates memorable characters who are compelling and unique. These are the stories of real women living hard lives, some at the poverty line, some a little better off, but all desperate in some way.
