(1) YA These three renowned mothers were born in 1867. Each had a child with whom she had a rocky early relationship that blossomed into mutual love and respect. The parallels remain implicit in these poetically realized lives; the thirty vignettes concerning each mother-daughter pair offer just a few telling facts, beautifully phrased and skillfully arranged. Portrait photos, introductions, and afterwords round out the stories. Timeline. Bib.
