PRENTICE/HALL

The title of our book reveals much about our goals. The word portrait emphasizes the individuality of a particular woman and the historian's representation of her. By combining American and Women, we include the general features of the cultural life that individuals shared with others who were American and who were women. We have places introductory essays before each grouping of portraits to provide connections between our subjects and their times. The women chosen for this volume are: Pocahontas, Anne Hutchinson, Eliza Lucas Pinckney, Nancy Ward, Phyllis Wheatley, Mercy Otis Warren, Maria Weston Chapman, Catharine Beecher, Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mary Todd Lincoln, Varina Howell Davis, and Charlotte Forten.

"Doing Time," For the prison writers whose work is included in this anthology, it means more than "serving a sentence"; it means staying alive and sane, preserving dignity, reinventing oneself, and somehow retaining one's humanity. For the last quarter century the prestigious writers' organization PEN has sponsored a contest for writers behind bars to help prisoners face these challenges. The contest honors the best short stories, plays, essays, and poems among hundreds submitted annually by men and women nationwide. Bell Chevigny, a writer herself and a former prison teacher, has selected the best of these to create Doing Time - a timely, beautiful, sometimes devastating, but vital work, which demonstrates resoundingly that prison writing is a vibrant branch of American literature.
