An examination of the dark side of an iconic American product and a portrait of the women who lived in the shadow of its fractured fortune, this book is a family history, a feminist history, and a story of motherhood, love and loss. In crystalline prose, Rowbottom considers the roots of trauma not only in her own family, but in the American psyche as well, ultimately weaving a story that is deeply personal, as well as deeply connected to the collective female experience.
