In the Name of Friendship: A Novel (Classic Feminist Writers)

The critically acclaimed author Marilyn French, of the seven million copy bestseller The Women’s Room, returns to that exploration of the truths and realities of women’s lives, this time 35 years after the women’s movement began. Set in the mountains of the Berkshires, this novel revolves around four disparate women whose personalities vary as greatly as their ages but who manage to develop a profound, life-altering friendship.

Called “terrifying [and] impressive” by The New York Times and “courageous…honest… powerful” by The Chicago Tribune, French’s work celebrates the relationships among women and questions what more is needed on the journey to equality.
