(Paperback - First Edition)
Drawn from an extraordinary project in which over 500 women from all walks of life kept "day diaries" on a single day, the collective voices in THIS DAY reach across experiential, cultural, geographical, and socioeconomic boundaries. While the deliciously intimate details satisfy even the most shameless curiosity, most importantly, THIS DAY reveals the extraordinary in the ordinary - those moments that occur throughout any given day, and illuminate who we really are as individuals, as women, and as Americans.

November 10, 2003: Mostly, I laughed. A few times I cried. But I enjoyed all the diary entries. Reading this book made it a little easier to get through my daily juggling act - knowing that I shared some of the same problems/challenges (and joys) with such a diverse cross-section of women. I smiled each time I put the book down, and tried to find a few minutes to read 'just one more entry.' I highly recommend This Day.

November 09, 2003: The women whose dairies are included in this book speak their minds with amazing honesty. In their own voices, mothers, grandmothers, wives and widows all demonstrate that women care about what they do with their lives. They are happy, sad, frustrated, busy and above all brave. I plan to give this book to my female friends this holiday season.
