Jill Ker Conway, author of one of the most celebrated memoirs of recent decades, is also the premier anthologist of women's autobiographical writing. In Her Own Words is Conway's distillation of women's experience from the British Commonwealth world she came from, compared with major themes in women's lives in the United States, which is now her home.

In this dazzling collection, we meet twelve remarkable women--from Shirley Chisholm, the West Indian-raised girl who became the first black woman to be elected to the U.S. Congress, to Janet Frame, the brilliant New Zealand writer who overcame involuntary treatment in a mental institution to write one of the archetypal analyses of the postcolonial experience. We learn how the world of politics and the private self intersect in the four offshoots of the old British world, and see how these women have made a difference--by their honesty, by the scale of their struggle for self-knowledge and autonomy, and by the power of their writing.

Includes writing from:

Patricia Adam-Smith Lillian Hellman
Rosemary Brown Dorothy Hewett
Kim Chernin Robin Hyde
Shirley Chisholm Dorothy Livesay
Lauris Edmond Sally Morgan
Janet Frame Gabrielle Roy

Cheap Insurance Against Headliner Failure
Size: 4-pack
Cheap Insurance Against Headliner Failure If you’ve ever owned a Jeep with a hardtop, you already know that heat, cold, humidity, and constant temperature swings can be tough on adhesives over time. Even when replacement headliner kits include their own adhesive, I still like having a high-quality automotive adhesive on hand for extra peace of mind. This 3M product has been one of my go-to choices for headliner work because it is specifically designed for automotive environments where materials are exposed to extreme summer heat and winter cold. The last thing anyone wants is to spend time installing a headliner only to have corners start sagging or sections pull away months later. The spray pattern is consistent, the adhesion is strong, and it provides the confidence that the installation will hold up long-term. I have found it especially useful for Jeep hardtops, where temperature fluctuations can be much more extreme than in a traditional vehicle. The cans arrived well packaged, and having multiple cans on hand is convenient for larger projects or future repairs. For Jeep owners, restorations, headliner repairs, upholstery projects, or anyone wanting a little extra insurance against adhesive failure, this is a product I would not hesitate to keep in the garage. #FoundItOnAmazon #JeepLife #JeepJKU #HeadlinerRepair #3M #AutomotiveProjects #GarageEssentials #DIYGarage #AmazonFinds #JeepMods #AutomotiveMaintenance

Easy to Use and Professional Results
This adhesive saved me a trip to the upholstery shop. It bonded my fabric headliner back in place with a solid, even hold. No overspray issues, and it dries quickly. Looks like it was professionally done. Two cans were more than enough for the job.

There ya be
Size: 2-pack
Works good. Too good. If you’re not a pro, you’ll mess it all up. The headliner is up in the beater. But YouTube lied about how easy it is to use this stuff. Very sticky!! Easy to use. Easy to wrinkle the headliner too and just wad it all up. But oh well. It’s a beater. Nuff said.
