"Fig newtons" of the imagination and of memory abound in this
marvelous collection of twenty-two stories by Texas women. "Fig
newtons" such as the magical moment when a dying grandmother
teaches Sue Ellen to dance, the red shoes Tammy the Tupperware
Princess dons in New Orleans, the yellow thread needed to put Sue
Tidwell's quilt together, or weekends of escape and sisterhood
spent in El Paso's McCoy Hotel. The stories chosen here--and
introduced and placed in their historical and literary context by
editors Sylvia Ann Grider and Lou Halsell Rodenberger--together
weave a story of their own: the story of women's writing in the
Lone Star State. From 1865, when a prescient science fiction work
was serialized in the Galveston newspaper, until the present, women
have written of a different Texas than the stereotypical Wild West
of men's writing. Beverly Lowry, Carolyn Osborn, Annette Sanford,
Denise Chavez, Katherine Anne Porter, Judy Alter, Joyce Gibson
Roach, and others have told a range of stories that capture the
range of circumstances, feelings, and experiences Texas women have
known and lived. As Susan Wiltshire Ford writes in "The Quilt,"
"any grief was bearable if you could tell a story about it or make
a story out of it." Texas women have borne grief and laughter, hope
and memory by telling a story. Let's hear it.
