Fairly Recently published Memoirs by Women, not counting Bad Blood.

Request for Question Clarification by revbrenda1st-ga on 18 Feb 2003 12:44 PST
Hi fie,

Do you mean women from any country or one in particular? Also, how
large a list do you require and what do you consider recent? How far
back should we go?

Respectfully,
revbrenda1st
