Reliving my Becoming

Revisado: 09-02-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Changing the Sheets is an autobiography written about a woman who enters married life in the 1960's perceiving herself to be powerless in her life and marriage. Her metamorphosis into an independent individual living in Louisville in the 60's and 70's is well written and unusually revealing. The backdrop of the national dramas of the times and how O'Daniel related to them is significant for a least 2 reasons. Historically, it is important to understand how we got to today. The young women of today's world probably have no understanding of how women like O'Daniel took us from what was for many women a dark age to that of today's relative liberation. Since I am about O'Daniel's age I remember what she lived through. This was about my own becoming. Listening to O'Daniel's recollection I remember the repression of thought and feeling. I remember the sadness and the anger. I remember the disempowerment, and I remember my slow and painful journey to self. We pioneers initiated the struggle that today's youth can bring to fruition.

Enjoying the Best of Yesterday

Revisado: 12-23-22

While I was listening to Deanna O'Daniel read her charming memoir, I came to experience that being stuck indoors on winter evenings gives one the leisure to indulge in memories. Do you remember the fun you had as a child? You don't? No matter. O'Daniel will let you borrow her family. The laughter, the tears, the heartbreak--she brings it all. Curl up with hot chocolate, a fire in the fireplace, and an afghan, and prepare for the warmth of nostalgia.
