This is a collection of works done by Alice Walker. They range from feminism, body issues, anti-nuclear viewpoints, and civil rights.

Anyone looking to see the world from the eyes of someone similar or different.

I liked Beauty: When The Other Dancer is The Self as is speaks about how easy it is to lose beauty, and how good it feels to find peace with your appearance.

The book is older so many of the issues were a little difficult to relate to.

Find peace with my own shortcomings.

The emotional range changed throughout the book. Mainly you fid yourself lookign for hope.

Alice Walker is a tallented writer who expresses her childhood clearly.

It is a good example of solid writing, and it inspires women to be happier with themselves.

This book was an intersting read I've been skimming through for awhile now. I stopped reading during the Anit-Nuke parts since I had to do a report on the importance they have on keeping countries from going to war or taking each other over. However, the book has powerful messages about finding beauty within yourself and making amends with your own appearance.
