Professional Reviews Christian Science Monitor: "Along with its depictions of a strong and generous feminine society, Ballard's diary offers none of the stereotypical notions of female gatherings. It is devoid of cattiness or gossip....Fortunately, Ulrich uses only snippets of Ballard's diary to illustrate her point, rather than reprinting long passages from the often tedious journal....But ultimately it is Ballard's matter-of-fact voice the reader is left with--sharing a tale of spirit and community, a testament to the perspicacity and resilience of women."
