Beschreibung
"e;Woman to Woman!"e; includes two novellas about friends and enemies. Most women have had the experience of very dear and supportive women friends. These are certainly cherished. However, sometimes women can be their own worst enemies. They don't need men to criticize them, to disrespect them or to destroy their plans. These two Novellas reflect both: women as dear friends and women as nasty enemies. Though the themes and events are real, the characters and the settings have been as completely disguised as humanly possible. The support, the caring and the friendships are real. The jealousy, the hostility and the various attempts at sabotaging the goals of their female friends and acquaintances did happen. Hopefully these two stories will also give an historic perspective on the struggles of achieving women during the mid to late 1970s and early 1980s in the United States. The first novella, "e;The Guest."e; involves graduate students toward the end of their course of study for advanced degrees. The central character, the epitome of attractiveness to many of the male students and male professors at the time, is extremely entitled. She becomes the guest of a very intelligent younger student whose attempts at hospitality fail. The Guest quietly but purposely seems to be out to hurt her hostess in several ways. The second novella, "e;Lovely Lola,"e; is the story of a woman who suffers abuse in terms of witnessing it as a child and then later as the wife of an abuser and as the mother of an abuser. Lola is entitled. Though a skilled horsewoman, who is capable of supporting herself through her skills, her approach to life is that she is owed and that nothing is her fault or her son's fault. Everyone else is to blame. She is right even in the face of contradictory evidence. She knows all despite the mess that surrounds her! She is the perpetual victim as is her son! And yet, like the main character of the Guest, she is capable of kindness and generosity.
